Subject: [Leica] Nearly empty mall in Fort Wayne

I went back today to photograph the old barber who used to cut my hair
when I was a kid. His shop is one of the few stores in the mall. He told
me that a lot of the space in the mall is occupied by the offices of a
medical billing company. The storefronts are empty, but a lot of the
unseen floorspace is used as offices. That's how they keep the mall open,
though if I had a store there, I'd move to a busier place where there were
more customers.
