The only reason I'd ever go to a strip mall if they offer a service you can't find anywhere else. There's one in Eugene Oregon where we get knives sharpened, for example, or keys made. Those services are hard to find.Sallie (FullTime-Life)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15442598857394838271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214641197271964296.post-45702034623041130712013-05-23T09:00:06.904-04:002013-05-23T09:00:06.904-04:00Although it's ugly, it looks like one stop sho...Although it's ugly, it looks like one stop shopping! In the Southwest (US), the malls are constructed to fit in with the surroundings with similar colors. You wouldn't find a mall like this there. At least not in the newer areas.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17756564685282866773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214641197271964296.post-84222893936228046662013-05-23T07:58:03.319-04:002013-05-23T07:58:03.319-04:00They are very useful!

Something about it strikes my imagination. I think it might make a good setting for a story.
