Storefronts or lack there of

After reading all of the posts about this topic I decided to do a google image search for interesting and fun store fronts. I have to say I was surprised by the lack of results.

I was in Boston this past March, and saw the sewing machine storefront. I thought it was very cool, and also fitting for the feel of the store itself. But passed that one store I really cannot think of seeing any other one that was really dynamic. I've never really thought about it, but it is very shocking in this visual age. One would expect that to garner street traffic and dynamic storefront might be the way to go.

However, on the flip side I'm thinking that maybe as the internet becomes the major source of stores business they are forgoing flashy and therefore creative storefronts. Maybe they feel that less people will see them or that it will not draw in the amount of people neccasary. Whatever it is, store fronts are not a major source of interesting design.
