That's a problem in Alhambra, a local largely-Asian community.  Over the years
the department stores and shops have moved out and restaurants have moved in. 
The restaurants are generally very good -- chains like Tony Roma's and
individual ethnic restaurants, mostly Asian -- but there's nobody to eat at
them.  Now they're trying to change the mix back to general shopping, but the
"nice" dress shops and stores that  my mom liked to shop at are gone forever.
