I so luv this site called Strange Maps. A number of blogs that I read have been pointing to it so I added it to my RSS. So the map this week is this one:
This cartoon, ‘America the Mall’, was sent in by Josh Bloom, who scanned it from the Boston Globe, in which it appeared in August of 2000 – still very much the heyday of the shopping mall.
And then there is this marvelous piece of American lore: "One unconfirmed piece of shopping mall trivia holds that the US has more malls than high schools. While these must include many tiny malls, there are also more than 1,100 ‘regional shopping malls‘, targeting potential customers as far away as 25 miles and often extending to a million square feet.
Can you tell what is important to Joe or Josie Average American out there? Oh-oh, I’m gonna hear from my daughter Josie now. ;o)

That is a neat site! You always find good, off the beaten path sites for us though.
I just want to be close to a really good bookstore. 😉
Liz, you and me both. :o)
All, I really like places that document the U.S. experience even if it saddens me sometimes. Shopping? Really?
Interesting site..
