It is obvious that the amount of income generated from the Main Street, the Square, galleria or bazaar and its surrounding communities cannot be supplanted by the income generated by the massive online distribution services and their town-sized warehouses. The online distribution services will benefit from store fronts where customers can pick up their goods ordered online. The Amazon Store, selling its own Brazilian coffee( by franchise) with small Brazilian chocolate treats and danishes  has bought Chapters in Canada for instance. Anyone with a P.O box in Siberia or the Yukon can order online but he might have bought a coffee compulsively or a Godiva chocolate for his neighbour if he had the choice of driving down the road or taking the subway. The Lord of War is building subway infrastructure in the Yukon and underground walking systems. Isolation breeds contempt and estrangement. Where are we going?; 360 or 180?
