The second is in no way, shape or form, a "mall", in the modern usage of "Mall' to define a shopping plaza destination. The word mall can also define a pedestrian walkway with shops, But the singular noun of "Mall" - meaning a large pedestrian centric shopping plaza - is very different than 5 shops sharing a parking lot.
check the reply I was just writing. if there currently is no discerning Paul's example #1 and #2, then we need to change the mall tag ASAP. Because that is totally mislabeling the stripmall / shopping_centre in example #2 - and really diluting the meaning of "mall" as it is commonly used in California and Japan. javbw On Oct 21, 2014, at 4:00 PM, Volker Schmidt <[email protected]> wrote: > Paul, > > according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mall your first two examples are > malls, the third one would not be a mall. > > Volker > > On 21 October 2014 07:57, Paul Johnson <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm thinking this is a shopping mall, and this is a shopping center.
