| 説明 | Country Club Plaza. Arguably, the first shopping mall in the United States, and definitely the most beautiful.The shopping mall that asks 2 questions: Why should a mall be a one-story box surrounded by an ocean of parking lots? Why shouldn't a chain store have an ornate Spanish belltower for its focal point? And answers both questions with a resounding "No reason at all!"Yes, there is parking here, but it's discreetly hidden underground and behind tiled walls and lacy wrought-iron gates.You will never have a better time shopping at a Restoration Hardware, or eating at a Cheesecake Factory. You'll feel like royalty. It's like watching a movie in an ornate, old-style movie palace as opposed to a soulless multiplex that makes you pump melted margarine on your popcorn yourself.Obviously, the post World War II model of shopping mall design is of the use-up-and-throw-away variety. See www.deadmalls.com. This is the kind of mall that breeds loyalty. Who would want to shop at a newer mall when you could come here? It's a visual treat in a way that big boxes will never be. |
