So called big box stores are here to stay, you can't buy lumber on line or at least not a few 2 X 6's when you need them right now, they all have the same advantages over the small operators, volume and market share. Small, relatively isolated towns will continue to have some successful independent operators of lumber and hardware stores but as the cities and suburbs expand the box stores get closer. 35 years ago we thought it was a big deal to go every couple of weeks to the nearest town of any size which was 3o miles away, this day and time we have to go that far if we need anything besides a few groceries or dollar store items. I think malls have seen their glory days, small specialty stores have to charge big prices and young people don't have the disposable income they used to have. I think malls will definitely fall to on line retailing in the next several years. The belly burner joints like Mcdonalds and burger king will probably continue to do well as long as kids are whining to go and people are too lazy to get up and fix a sandwich for lunch, most of the restaurant chains have cookie cutter menus and sell second rate beef at fairly steep prices, I know they are full 7 days a week, I guess people can't or don't cook much anymore.

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo
