Are We Headed to the End of the Indoor Mall? Do you care?
The very first indoor, all enclosed mall was here in Minnesota. It was Southdale mall which opened in 1956. Since then, we have SO many indoor malls, and they are all across the nation.

It’s hard to overstate the importance of last Wednesday’s Inauguration. Trump’s gone, the coup was averted, and democracy prevailed. The fascist danger experienced a setback at least for now.
For those who believed it could never happen here, think again. It almost did. America’s love affair with exceptionalism could not escape a tendency deeply embedded in capitalism’s laws of motion. While not inevitable, fascism remains a threat.
Indeed, if anyone had any doubts about what Trump represented and there were many let them remember January 6th. Let them reflect on the sacking of the Capitol. Let them recall the day the so-called defenders of blue beat down officers in blue, with flag poles draped in red, white, and blue.
