what will happen to the big boxes when people don't shop there for xmas?



Sure, the economy has you worried. Worried about whether or not the big box retailers are going to have a good fourth quarter. And worried what would happen if they don't.

Ever wonder what an empty big box retailer could be used for? Coudal points to a nice post that shows what some communities have done with abandoned super massive retail stores.

The photo above is a library, made from an old Kmart. Yeah, a library. Ironic, isn't it?

To bad they didn't marry the high-end go-kart track with the library.
