David Guterson’s narrative about the Mall of America delves into several facets that are embedded throughout the mall both physically and mentally. A vivid description about the mall’s interior design makes the audience feel like they have visited the mall. Guterson also writes about how people, individually and as a society, are effected psychologically by this pseudo-metropolis. The grandeur of the mall is, without question, second to none. Shoppers are drawn to visit because of all the modern frills contained within. A theme park, arcade, hundreds of shops, and eateries are the staples of the mall, but the gardens, flowers, and trees define the mall as being “the best of the best.” The atmosphere created by combining “Mother Earth” with…

Four miles SSW from the iconic Hollywood sign and just about the physical center of the City of Angels is Koreatown. Koreatown has the largest South Korean population outside of the country itself. With such a high concentration of these richly cultured peoples came many korean style restaurants and other eateries.…
Also, the increase in online shopping has made the need for shopping at malls less necessary. Although, anyone from the wealthy to lower class can afford and enjoy popcorn, foot traffic is one of the best ways to advertise and gain sales. I would choose a retail location that has a mix of high end to discount stores for my shop because of the state of the economy and the increase in online shopping. For example, in one prime location in Los Angeles there is an enclosed high end mall with stores like Louis Vuitton, Prada, and Gucci. On the other hand, across the street there is an open air retail shopping center with a Target, Old Navy, Nordstroms Rack, Ross Dress for Less, TJ Maxx, and Marshalls. Both locations have a food court. I would choose to have my shop inside the food court with the lower end and discount designer brand stores. Upon observation, the retail center with the discount designer brand stores was always more crowded than the mall with the high end stores year round. I also enjoy the mix of shopping and an indoor/outdoor food court. Customers can purchase food and sit outside and eat in a café style area. This environment is ideal for a city with great weather like Los…

First of all, Brian highly recommended his favorite restaurant Rhea’s Market and Deli which looks like a liquor store, but they also sell delicious and fresh sandwiches. It is located in Mission district. That is a small deli store which only has one long table and five chairs along the sidewalk with clear windows. The first time…

I could not help but to think that the purpose of a shopping mall was for everyone to have one convenient place to buy anything they desired. But, the viewpoints expressed though "Community through Exclusion and Illusion" by George Lewis and "Shopping for American Culture," by James J. Farrell, have led me to believe that the shopping mall also serves as a community center. Another article which captured my attention was Ira Zepp's, "The Shopping Mall as Sacred Place." They each express their ideas of how the shopping mall is not just a place to shop due to it's constantly availability, which has created an ideal environment for social interaction for people of all ages. Farrell…

The citizen of Chicago has a huge advantage over others. They don’t have to drive hours to find the food they want and they never worried about what to eat. Like most of the global city, Chicago has huge variety of food. The Chinatown provides huge variety of Chinese food and emphasized on the famous cooking style around China. I had visited all restaurants across the Chinatown over two years time. The authentic of the food is great in old town. However, in the new town area they modified and improvised on the food with a little American element. If you are the type person who like to enjoy spicy and grilled food, you should just started making your way to the west of the Cermak. The two distinguished neighborhood pilsen…
Many people could agree that the Mall of America, located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, would be a great place to visit. The mall has a great atmosphere, but it also has different stores and departments. The Mall of America is very different amongst other types of malls throughout the United States, for it has many more attractions. It can also be a great place for people, of all ages, to come shop, to ride roller coasters, and to hang out with friends and families.…
A suggestion that was used in the book was to add entertainment to the center of the mall. The entertainment can be anything from holiday shows, occasional concerts, a playground for kids, or even just an open area with comfortable resting spots where customers can relax and de-stress. A perfect type of idea would be a small coffee house type of area that serves coffee and soda with a waitresses on staff to cater to each patron’s needs. Especially during the holiday season, this would be a great relaxing way for customers to rest their feet and collect their thoughts before heading to the next store on the list.…
David Guterson wrote the article “Enclosed. Encyclopedic. Endured: On Week at the Mall of America to transmit his opinion to the public. He begins by offering the basic facts about the mall and its features. The Mall of America was open for business in the summer of 1992, and David Guterson was among the first few thousands of individuals to visit it. He goes a little in depth of the Mall of America by displaying fun facts (Guterson 398). Guterson tries to explain in his opinion why the mall isn’t such a good place to go.…
