America’s Most Endangered Malls
Posted by Karl Withakay on June 29, 2009
This being the off season for TV, I’m having a hard time finding many jucy targets that I want to deconstruct.
So, just so I have something to post, I’ll mention this Yahoo article on America’s Most Endangered Malls that caught my interest.
I read the whole article and was surprised to find no mention of the mall in Willamette, Colorado anywhere. I thought for sure that between the current recession and the 2006 outbreak that it would be on its last legs, but I guess there’s not many other places to shop in Willamette.
Maybe in a couple of years, yahoo will have a followup article on America’s most endangered casinos.
That is all. 🙂

well, why did you stop writing about the malls? seems like a great subject for social satire at length…hmm…no, I won’t ‘steal’ your idea–yet………….no promises! ha..only problem…I haven’t been inside a mall in so long that….it would require research —dunno if I want to do that sort of research..so…yep… I’m going to leave it to you deconstruct this economic evil at length —in your own good time…or not! ta ta!

I don’t know… It would be hard to do a better job than Romero did in 1978 in the original Dawn of the Dead.
I prefer the 2004 remake, but it lacks the social commentary subtext of the original.
