Mall-Walking

We went to the mall today to do some shopping. While there, I stopped to marvel at the beauty of the entrance to this shop. The curved glass, the tile, the hanging lights and foliage, the muted brick and warm, wooden French doors—everything just really caught my eye. I genuinely appreciated the artistry on display. In a mall filled with forgettable entrances to generic shops that I pass right by without looking twice, this one managed to stop me for a few extra seconds.

Later on, I posted about appreciating this storefront to Threads, and everyone replied with some version of “this store supports <insert horrible thing here>.” It had been milkshake ducked. Not wanting to invite ridicule for not knowing its backstory, I deleted the post and moved on.

After the week of news we’ve had, I can scarcely bring myself to Google a new, awful thing, so I’ll just have to take their word for it. Bad store has good front. That’s it.
