you mean malls like rolling acres in akron, which is just... >> no, no, no. talking about the high quality malls that have been... what we call the a malls. the b malls and c malls, the ones that have never drawn high end customer bases or high end traffic, those are already in the process of being repurposed in all sorts of ways. they're becoming bowling alleys, storage facilities. and we'll continue to see the repurposing of that real estate. >> reporter: 15% of malls will fail or be converted into non- retail space in the next 10 years. why the across-the-alphabet decline? well, online shopping has doubled in the last seven years; tastes and habits have changed. >> what's the matter? you look depressed. i hate working the theatre. all the action's on the other side of the mall. >> reporter: for example, no longer are malls teeming with teens. >> what can i do for you? >> can i have your phone number so i can ask you out sometime? >> reporter: today teenagers play out their angst elsewhere or at home, on their computers, while the parents are shopping on th

in 1990 at the old, big firestone headquarters, the big building there in akron. discussions focused on what to do next. would you have to deal with charles taylor? could you do that? there was tremendous worry about the safety of their employees, most particularly the 8,000, 9,000, 10,000 liberians that they employed. so how can we help these people? what do we do next? so it was a real dilemma for the company, and a lot of, i would say, soul-searching and really tough, tough decision-making that had to be done. >> narrator: much of what we know from the era comes from corporate records that until now were buried in a long-forgotten court file and hundreds of state department cables obtained through the freedom of information act. one of the earliest documents we found was a letter signed by donald ensminger on october 3, 1990. it's addressed to commander in chief charles taylor, requesting a meeting. the second one, sent a week later: >> "all sides need to recognize that firestone continues to incur major losses as a result of hostilities." >> narrator: then, th

but is the art now becoming an akron anymore. >>> back in the day when i was coming races and going to a state that cover a congressional district race or a senate race or even a primary, there weren't that many polls, so a reporter who would go to a state, there might be some poll out there that you heard about, that would give you some sense of the -- some data organization you never heard of. so you go to egyvents and you watch the candidates perform and you pick up some sense of how -- you talked to the campaign workers and see the managers and so on and they would tell you stuff and you would be able to from experience you could kind of filter out the spin and pick the things that kind of made sense to you. you would get a feel for the race. and, you know, you didn't have a poll to go on and -- but now you have the real clear politics average of polls and david reuter would go knocking on doors and talk to people in a shopping mall, i think it's kind of seen as old-fashioned. >> the problem is that while we had some polls this cycle that were sort of spectacularly off and failed t

i used to -- to decide who is going to win by driving from cleveland to akron or driving tomorrow cleveland to mount vernon, ohio. particularly the drive from cleveland to mount vernon, ohio, you're going through this rural stretch and every sign along the roads was a yard sign and you could kind of do your own poll driving down the road and counting how many say bush and how many say kerry. pick your election. and i would sort of decide my guess on who was going to carry ohio by counting the yard signs. so if you're seeing no yard signs out in new fealed, ohio, i think it speaks to what we've been talking about here that there is a lack of excitement for any of the candidates. there's a lack of interest and a lack of people wanting to really be engaged p. and to some degree these races aren't competitive and people don't bother. >> guest: that's the key point. there is no senate race in ohio. and redistricting has wiped out what was once the most competitive map in the country with a bunch of seats that would go each cycle democrats would lose one year republicans would lose the other year
