Food Court Utopia
I didn’t see or read too many weblogs during my absence, but one stood out for its originality - Malls of America. This weblog consists of little more than vintage postcards of early shopping malls, but it’s remarkable how similar they all are and how they speak of a kind of long-gone ’50s-’70s optimism. That white on white, Logan’s Run-esque architecture gives me the warm and fuzzies. The fact that most of the places pictured are devoid of shoppers adds an extra layer of eeriness.
PS I found this via Katya’s Oddio Overplay Blog. Speaking of which, she has a cool-looking Ghouls with Attitude! compilation up now. Guess what I’ll be doing for the next few days …

Keith is great and all 5 sites he maintains (Malls of America, Old Haunts, Deviled Ham, Santa and Me!, and Sir Graves Ghastly) are fantastic. I don’t know how he finds the time for so many though.
Good to have you back, btw!
