    CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif. (KABC) -- While many malls are packed this
    holiday season, one Southern California mall is looking like a ghost town.

    At the Puente Hills Mall in the City of Industry, foot traffic is down as several big chains and mom-and-pop stores have recently closed.

    The iconic mall is known as the Twin Pines Mall from 1985's "Back to the Future."

    Locals say they remember how busy this place used to be, but now customers
    are greeted with signs saying stores are closed.

    "It's sad seeing a lot of stores closing," shopper Isaias Zambrano said.
    "We probably went to like three stores and we're heading out already."

    This is happening all over the country.
    Brick and mortar type stores are having a difficult time recovering from the pandemic and staying
    above water with the huge increases in product cost and rent.
    And then there is the crime issue.
    If people don't start supporting their local small businesses it won't be long before they
    disappear as well.
