    MillCreek Mall Review

    Driving down Peach Street, there were many visible signs informing shoppers of how to reach the mall. It was very easy to exit the highway and reach the mall with no confusion and stress free. The Millcreek mall has an enormous amount of parking choices surrounding the mall with many different entrances. The one of twelve entrances eliminated the need to cluster parking spaces and promoted cars to spread out, allowing for a closer spot to the door. The entrances made it every wheelchair accessible with ramps and automatic doors. This positively contributed to my trip due to the fact my father is in a wheelchair. The accessibility and the ability to easily find the mall further improved my shopping trip to Millcreek Mall.…

    In “The ‘Magic of the Mall’: An Analysis of Form, Function, and Meaning in the Contemporary Retail Built Environment”, Jon Goss explains the motives of the modern mall. With shopping being America’s second most loved activity, developers have found that there are large amounts of profit to be made from shopping malls. Developers build malls in hopes that a good mix of tenants will arrive, that they will keep a certain middle to upper class demographic in the mall, and that they will keep high-quality, non-thrift stores out of their mall. The insides of shopping malls are built to emulate old-style markets with lampposts, fountains, social/leisure areas, and shrubbery. Some malls allow civic spaces within them including post offices, police…

    I could not help but to think that the purpose of a shopping mall was for everyone to have one convenient place to buy anything they desired. But, the viewpoints expressed though "Community through Exclusion and Illusion" by George Lewis and "Shopping for American Culture," by James J. Farrell, have led me to believe that the shopping mall also serves as a community center. Another article which captured my attention was Ira Zepp's, "The Shopping Mall as Sacred Place." They each express their ideas of how the shopping mall is not just a place to shop due to it's constantly availability, which has created an ideal environment for social interaction for people of all ages. Farrell…

    During his stay there he pondered the question: How is the Mall of America part of America? The first thing that Guterson notices is the vast, expansive nature of the mall. After having observed some of the shoppers, Guterson concluded that despite the malls expansiveness, it elicited claustrophobia, sensory deprivation, and an unnerving disorientation, (Guterson p. 452). According to Guterson, these feelings lead to a sense of isolation, away from any kind of community that encourages socialization. Guterson believes that the desire to fulfill these communal requirements is intrinsic to human nature and the shopping mall is only a hindrance to this…
