Document Summary
David guterson - enclosed, encyclopedic, endured one week at the mall of america. Last april, writer visited the new mall of america near minneapolis: fun facts about the mall. 1mil in cash disbursed weekly from 8 atms. A lot of other fuckin facts lmao: the moa = the largest fully enclosed combination retail & family entertainment complex in the us . On the night he (the speaker) arrived, sat. , the mall"s lighting looked like a lv casino: looked like castle/fort from outside impossibly large and vaguely unreal . Knows moa was imagined by its creators as a national tourist attraction (and a marketplace: lots of entertainment, but the architecture testifies to our view of ourselves and the condition of our souls (contributes) . From a distance moa looks menacing, but inside it"s just a big mall: looked like an american shopping mall from the end of the 1900s.
