You find it sad because you have never experienced the beauty of a society without malls. With small little local shops instead of the big corporations and high street brands that all look the same. Europeans have. But it is being destroyed by the malls.
- simplecto 5y agoWalk the Streets of Stockholm and you will find the same franchise/chain stores on every block. In fact, many are quite happy to visit the “Mall of Scandinavia” And many / most smaller towns only have chains. That Euro charm that so many romanticize is not evenly distributed.
