December 9th, 2008

To follow up on my previous post-o-angst about toy stores disappearing from malls, I present this clip about the wasted real estate in the nearby mall of redundancy. You’ll see Abercrombie & Fitch and just a hop-skip (no need to jump) away, you’ll see Abercrombie. This mall is guilty of gluttony. It ordered a fast-food [...]

I believe I have no stapler

September 9th, 2008
