Should a amazon facility replace that retail outlet it will mean some jobs for folks. Those Retail jobs are gone, they were going anyway amazon or not and they are not coming back no matter the amount of wishful thinking we want to use

You may lose some walkable direction from your location, but I suspect that there is another direction that you can choose or other options available.

Times change, Retail changes, it always has and always will.
