Sure, I'd be happy to help you with this. Can you please provide me with the name of the metropolitan area you're referring to? This will help me provide a more accurate answer.

Generally, industries may experience decline for various reasons, such as global economic trends, technological advancements, changes in consumer preferences, and competition from new and emerging markets. Some industries that have experienced a decline in recent years include:

1. Retail - due to the rise of e-commerce, many brick-and-mortar stores have struggled, though this trend varies by region and type of retail.
2. Manufacturing - some industries, such as those based on labor-intensive manufacturing, have been affected by automation and relocation to countries with lower labor costs.
3. Energy-based industries - renewable energy sources have been gaining popularity as traditional energy sources become less appealing due to environmental concerns.
4. Tourism - Some cities have experienced declines in the amount of tourism they see due to various factors.

While it's difficult to identify the specifics in a particular region, I can't confirm or deny which sector is being frequented. However, I can suggest these points may assist you.
