I'm walking so fast I can't even tell

What's a mall?

Here in Adelaide, Australia most of our malls are still here - probably got to do with the fact all our malls key stores just happen to be grocery stores, or Walmart style stores (sans groceries) like Kmart, Target, and Big W.

Although Myer centre in Adelaide's Rundle mall (basically a shopping street with no cars) is a bit dead on the top 3 floors - and has been for years now. It's ground and basement floors are always packed (food court in the basement) though.

I'm in California. We have many malls. I don't know what they are like these days. I haven't actually set foot in any for years. And I can walk to one!

They are actually purposely designed like that. They are also often place at the end of corridor after the movie theater in a mall. That's to get even more people to cut through, ideally with their girlfriends.

Trust me, they love it when you cut through... especially if you're with a woman. I actually read something about how because the shape of the pillar (usually for Gate purposes) is a square it throws off human psychology and they see the open space more like a wall that they have to walk around. So very few people cut through that section.

“Mr Jewellerychev, TEAR DOWN THIS WALL!”

Definitely done this and took the shortcut at the Cherry Hill mall
