Shopping Malls
The Mauling of America
This and the next ten pages contain images from the Mall of America near
Minneapolis, Minnesota and text about consumerism and
shopping malls. The Mall of America has more of everything for shopping to
excess, 4.2 million square feet of department sto res, specialty
shops, fast food spots, theme park rides for the kids, miniature golf,
nightclubs, 14 movie screens, and a 75 seat wedding chapel. Least you
think it impossible that anyone would get married in a mall, promotional
literature for the "Chapel of Love" proclaims that over 300
ceremonies were performed there in its first two years.
