Shopping District

There is a local shopping district in our city, but most of the shops are out of business now.

I feel lonely while walking through the district because the shutters are always closed even on daytime.

People go to the shopping malls located at the outskirt of the city which have large parking lots.

Also the younger generation is decreasing.

Elderly people rarely go to the shopping district because they have to walk a long distance to get to the shops.

We can buy anything at grocery stores, but we need to visit different shops in the district to buy certain things.

However, the location of the district is very convenient because there is a train station near by.

I assume such abandoned places would increase in the near future because of the decreasing population.
