  • Lost in the Mall of America

    Lost in the Mall of America

    LOST IN THE MALL OF AMERICA “The difference between St. Paul and Minneapolis is the difference between pumpernickel and Wonder bread” - Garrison Keillor It had been a while since I had last been to Minneapolis. My visit, seven years ago, was punctuated by an encounter with the emaciated local formerly known as Prince in an elevator of the Radisson Hotel. Now, I had flown back to the city for two days of discussion and meetings with the editors of a travel magazine who were under the erroneous impression that I might have something to contribute to their Advisory Board. The hotel where we were staying was just a few hundred steps away from the state of Minnesota’s greatest single tourist attraction, and the most populated “tourist attraction” in the entirety of the Midwest, the Mall of America. It loomed on the landscape like some an architect’s nightmare, all brick and boredom with small entrances on each one of its meandering sides. I walked across the east parking lot, past a row of buses from places like Sheboygan, Merriville, and Danville, that were parked in the July sun waiting for their charges to return from the air-conditioning and the culture of the big building that sucked them in off the tarmac. Seeing those long distance “air-cooled” buses with “emergency” restrooms makes you realize what a serious place this really is. People actually view the Mall of America as a destination, a place worthy of four or five hours of highway travel and a stop or two along the interstate, similar, I suppose, to the way that Romans look at Michaelangelo's’ statue of David and the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.
