Very True, but this round of cuts took out many of the stores where they were the sole remaining major retailer.
By my count:
NYC (historic stand alone)
Brooklyn (historic stand alone)
Boston (historic stand alone)
Philadelphia (historic stand alone)
DC (stand alone)
Chicago - State Street (historic stand alone)
Chicago - N. Michigan (urban mall)
Miami (historic stand alone)
Pittsburgh (historic stand alone)
Minneapolis (historic stand alone)
Cincinnati (urban mall)
St. Louis (historic stand alone)
San Francisco (historic stand alone)
Los Angeles (urban mall)
Seattle (historic stand alone)
Portland, OR (historic stand alone)
Spokane, WA (historic stand alone)
Walla Walla, WA (historic stand alone)
Salem, OR (urban mall)
Providence, RI (urban mall)
San Diego (urban mall)
Sacramento (urban mall)
Salt Lake City (urban mall)
Closures over last few years:
Boise (historic stand alone)
Los Angeles (mall)(other location)
Missoula, MT (historic stand alone)
2013 closures:
Houston (historic stand alone)
Honolulu (stand alone)
Pasadena (urban mall)
St. Paul (historic stand alone)
I'm sure I'm missing some of current downtown stores located in malls where the mall name makes it sound suburban. Plus it gets hard to draw the line between what is a downtown store and a suburban store, for example there is a stand alone store in downtown Walnut Creek, CA, does that count? Does Pasadena count?
I linked Google Street View for the lesser known stores in the list above
