As Steve noted, interesting how similar these are to the North
American counterparts. I wonder what will move in beside OK Furniture?
Perhaps Adequate Groceries, or Tolerable Menswear.

I was struck by how much the parking lot supports resemble a field of
grave markers. Maybe you could make these out to be in commemoration
of the small local businesses that will die after this is up for a
couple of years.

I tried something different today - a sort of cross between architectural &
street. A couple of Mall Development Companies have been going around the
country building new malls & also converting/upgrading older store blocks
into malls. This is an upgrade. A new row of stores is being built to the
south of the existing row & the whole thing roofed over to form a mall. We
already have a mini-mall but this will be massive by comparison. WalMart
who trade here as Game will be moving in & will probably lead to the demise
of many existing small enterprises. This is a brave essay considering the
economy is very depressed at the moment & one wonders where all the
customers will come from. On the positive side, the local construction &
engineering firms at least have contracts for a year or so. Shopping has
become a nightmare with the temporary acute shortage of parking.

All with the K7 & DA 18-55 WR on a warm (30C) sunny day.
