(O) Mall of America (Minneapolis, 4/3/06). Grade: ?

I really don't know what to think. The Mall of America is the largest mall in the US, and has 520 stores. If you spent 10 minutes browsing at each store, it'd take you 86 hours. It has its own amusement park, movie theater, aquarium, museum, and flight simulator. You can fit (32) 707 Boeings inside. Well, those are just some of the facts I found on the website. Anyway, I had to make it out there (helloooo H&M!) just to check it out. Man, it's unbelievable. You just have to see it to believe it. And it's sorta disgusting too. Why do we need a mall this big and why are people spending this much money?

The rest of Minneapolis is alright. I'm in downtown Mpls, and I swear Target owns the city. There's Target and Target symbols everywhere. And Target Center, where the Timberwolves play. Anyway, it's maybe 48 degrees with icy wind. Hooray.
