Reflecting on my latest mall walks last weekend, it strikes me that the minimalistic Shaker wooden look is bizarrely incongruent with the sort of products Apple sells. IMO they'd look much better in a Futurist setting a la "Tron: Legacy".

At left is a *very* typical Apple Store in Green Hills Mall, Nashville; at right is Steve Jung's concept art for "Tron: Legacy" (source: jungsketch.blogspot.com/2010/1).

I can't help but think I'm pretty materialistic. From childhood I've always enjoyed walking shopping malls just to peruse the merchandise; luxury malls full of beautiful things (and people) are my favorite, but even not-so-nice ones like the one I walked this morning can be fun.

Anyone who thinks car-oriented suburbia discourages exercise should walk around the entireties of two shopping malls in two days like I've done today and yesterday. 🙃 Purely for pleasure FYI; browsing upscale malls always puts a smile on my face. 🥰
