This is great. Transforming malls into things that people actually want instead what they are told they want.
What, seven shoe stores and four jewelry stores all right across from one another isn't sustainable?
It's funny, like see the absurdity and unfairness of it, but hidden behind that is the fact that like, those four jewelry stores aren't even competing, they are owned by the same one or two companies, and those one or two companies are owned by the same handful of old country club families, and they also own the mall, half of the other stores, and everything in them is made in factories owned by some other handful of oligarchs. It's fucked.
I do miss Spencer's Gifts though. There used to be one in New York in a storefront near Astor Place. The only one I've ever seen not in a mall.
