Don't forget the power of a Window Display
Some people (like me) stopped going to the mall. We used to love it. It used to be part of weekend routine. Every Saturday or Sunday we'd drive to the big parking lot, circle around to find a spot, and then walk around the glossy floors wondering if we had enough money to buy something from one of the "ooh la la" stores. We felt nostalgic, like we were teenagers again, but this time there was actually some cash in our purses. We didn't go to meet up with some friends or see if our new crush would steal a kiss - nope. We went because the floor was shiny, the air-conditioning or indoor temperature was better than the weather outside, and it gave us a reason to put on some nice clothes because we got all confused at church about what to wear. We tried to enjoy our meal at the foodcourt, even though we knew we could make something better at home for less money. We walked around and noticed the teens, and the families with children still trying to juggle all of that responsibility. We sat on some bench watching and reminiscing about the stores that have come and gone. Memories of old friends and happy times came to mind as we listened to whatever music was playing. Then we took one last walk around to see what the stores were promoting. The window displays would invite us in or tell us to keep walking. Most of them don't have a "Welcome" mat or a "Now Hiring" sign these days. Most of them just have a subtle "Keep Walking" sign. That's how you know, that soon the mall won't be there. It will become another empty building beckoning to be leveled to ground zero, or crying to be reinvented. History repeats, over and over again.
