Those big lots behind stores meant homes were razed to create parking.

What happened just a couple of miles from my house was a shopping
center redevelopment company took a dying, old fashioned, shopping
center and transformed it. There is a roadway through the center now
and it has a village type feel. They even have two multi story
parking lots to accommodate all the shoppers cars.
