Fairview Park Mall - Grand Market District

[plam]

I don't know, I don't think I know a single person who still "goes to the mall". It basically died out completely as a concept from the people I know, and it's certainly not a place anyone I know would go to "hang out". On the other hand, during the regular year, I probably end up at the boardwalk more than a dozen times just secondhand being a passenger in a car. My parent's generation seem to genuinely love it, and prefer the boardwalk style of shopping over all of the alternatives. People in my generation I think are pretty indifferent; they are driving to their destination anyways, so it doesn't matter if it's in one wasteland or another.

And yet it felt to me that the malls had way more people walking around than, say, Uptown Waterloo.
