ES MichelsonDear Friends,
#StripMall #America, strip mall family businesses, and quintessential #LongIsland #pizza and #pasta #restaurant This is Spuntino a few years ago. I left a credit card there. Going back for it, they said they could well have burned it in the brick wood oven. 😬

DoomsdaysCWSo, #PortlandMaine used to have a beautiful train station (built in 1880) -- but demolished it in 1961 to build a #StripMall! Now Portland is going to build a new train station (while taking down a some houses -- not that Portland has housing crunch or anything like that /sarc) and some open space -- because tearing down the strip mall that was in the original spot isn't economically feasible. Such a waste... But there was so much of that during so-called #UrbanRenewal.
BarbChamberlainReminder not to hate on the suburbs if you're trying to improve them. If you read Kunstler's The Geography of Nowhere you'll appreciate this (and even if you didn't, if you grew up with strip malls or you work in urban planning).

Chris GlassSpent the first part of Saturday with a list of errands. Things started off shaky with a failure to get some accounts configured at the bank (they are better prepared / staffed Monday-Friday).
Popped in the mall* to kill time and pick up wired EarPods. The wireless variety fall out of my ears and annoy me when I shake my fist at clouds.
Next was a hunt for a very specific birthday gift at a second hand store and turning up bupkis.
Lunch Torchy’s Tacos afterward eased the disappointment. The Austin-based chain recently opened an outpost in the outer ring burbs of Cincinnati. We understand why it was packed as the tacos and green chile queso were extremely good.
This put us in direct line of appliance stores to check out dishwashers. They’re all silver boxes with slight variations on handle design.
* Kenwood Towne Centre now has a Sock Emporium and I feel like this is the a nail in its coffin

Ilsa VanHookA lot of strip malls are boring but what is up with this one? Maybe it's a set for the next gritty Netflix show set in Albuquerque. The artfully askew parking stops, the brick things, the gun store next to the smoke shop next to the kids store - so many dramatic opportunities.

Strip malls may be ugly, but they're home to such interesting businesses. I'm rather fond of this one, the yerberia "Fuerza y Poder".
Also I love how New Mexico is so casually bilingual.

I'm mildly obsessed with strip malls and their ilk lately.
