The Mall Goes Undercover - It now looks like a city street.

The Mall Goes Undercover - It now looks like a city street. By Andrew Blum: "There's something a bit unhealthy about faux public places designed to attract rich people and make them feel comfortable. (At least the traditional mall didn't try to hide the fact that it was a shopping center.) The lifestyle center is a bizarre outgrowth of the suburban mentality: People want public space, even if making that space private is the only way to get it."
