The Mall
07/09/2004 03:22 PMMost folks, when they say “let’s go to the mall,”
they mean the local mall—it’s just The Mall, it
doesn’t need a name.
And many folks remember The Mall from their teenage years forever.
Every mall later on is viewed through the filter of that First Mall,
the Ur-Mall.
For me that mall was the Christiana Mall in Delaware. MacNN reports that
they’re getting an Apple store. I haven’t been there in
almost 20 years, but for some reason this made me glad.
We used to walk around The Mall talking out loud about rats, hoping to
spook the other shoppers. People gave us funny looks but we never
managed to cause a stampede.

Eugene, Oregon, Wants Downtown Wi-Fi
Eugene, Oregon, Wants Downtown Wi-Fi
03/27/2005 06:15 PM
The city's daily newspaper urges Wi-Fi
rollout: I grew up in Eugene. This is a fairly
conservative paper in a pretty liberal town. And there's no
sock-puppet talk here. Just a concern about keeping Eugene, a kind of
island in the middle of the state with a large liberal-arts
university, on track to keep the economy humming. They don't suggest
city-wide Wi-Fi, but downtown Wi-Fi for free, which is a good starting
place to understand usage.
Eugene's downtown used to be cited by city planners because in the
1960s, they converted from a street-based downtown to a
pedestrian-only one. Streets were paved over. Remarkably, shoppers and
businesses slowly fled downtown into surrounding areas and the Valley
River Center Mall a few miles away on the other side of the Willamette
River. A few years ago, the pedestrian mall was ripped out and life
has slowly returned to downtown.

Oregon Gets Biggest Hotspot
02/10/2004 02:40 AMIt's always worrisome to qualify networks as the "biggest" but in this
case I'd bet that eastern Oregon really does have the biggest hotspot
in the country: Yesterday, Boardman and Hermiston, Ore. turned on a
600-square-mile hotspot. The network came about through a
public/private initiative and was built by EZ Wireless. The network
will be used by the Morrow County Emergency Management and Chemical
Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program, the police force, and
citizens. Initially, it will cover 600 square miles which includes
four counties and seven cities, some in Washington. The second phase,
which should be complete this summer, will add another seven cities.
The press release isn't online and any news organizations in the area
either don't post the stories online or require subscriptions from
visitors wanting to read the stories online....

out this great new gizmo from Oregon, a pedometer with a built-in
panic alarm. If next you're out jogging and can't outpace that
Olympic-sprinter-cum-homo-mugger, a push of the panic button will
cause an ear-piercing 120dB alarm to blare forth, hopefully scaring
the attacker away before you do permanent damage to your taut,
muscular ears.

No on 36: Help save Oregon marriages
No on 36: Help save Oregon marriages
09/20/2004 02:33 AMPlenty has been written about the mastery of language in use
by conservative think tanks these days and I'm reminded of it every
time I turn on the news or watch a discussion show featuring
conservative guests. I used to discount the importance of language and
framing of issues as overly simplistic, but this really is the death
of liberals right now. It's in the liberal nature to tell both sides
of the story and/or go for a nuanced discussion of issues, but people
don't have time or energy to keep those kinds of things straight on
hundreds of subjects in the news. I'm constantly impressed by
conservatives that can gain traction with somewhat crazy ideas, but do
it using such simple language that leaves little room for
interpretation.
One instance that is driving it home for me is seeing signs for
prop 36 in Oregon. Proposition 36 is the vote on a change to the State
Constitution, to clear up the ambiguous language that says "anyone
over 18 can marry..." so that is says "A man and a woman over 18 can
marry..." I hear the issue is currently polling at around 50%-50%,
which surprises me because I thought gay marriage had zero chance of
survival in the wild, but looking at the signs it's clear that the No
side's language isn't helping them, while the Yes side is killing
it.
The No on 36 folks have
these complicated signs that say "no on constitutional amendment 36"
and although the NO and 36 are the biggest things on it, it still
requires them to push a negative with a screaming NO on it. The color
is drab and you can't read the words "constitutional ammendment" from
a car. The Yes folks have a great distilled message, with multiple
colors. It says "One Man. One Woman. Yes on 36." It's simple, concise,
and gets the point across without the need for a five-syllable word.
So here's the thing: why don't liberals champion the power slogan?
Why can't liberals drop the "yeah, but..." from everything they want
to say? Conservatives never feel the need to spell out the specifics,
or the drawbacks, or the exceptions, while liberals are almost happy
to do it. It obscures the message when you have to add "yeah, but..."
to everything you say.
Here's my suggestion for the No on prop 36 folks: Go simple. Your
new slogan is "Support Marriages. Support Families. No on 36." That's
it. You don't have to explain these are new marriages or expanded
definitions of family, just go with short, emotional slogans. People
love marriage. People love family. A no vote on 36 means thousands of
marriages don't have to be dissolved.
Just as a conservative might repeat the phrase "Progress in Iraq"
over and over, you could easily spin gay marriage as a way to
encourage more marriages, help create more happy families, and help
spread love instead of hate. And when your opponents try to point out
"but! but! you're going to ruin civilization!" you can ask they why
they hate the institution of marriage, why they want to deny love, and
why they want to break up families.
And you can't argue with that on a 2 foot-by-3 foot sign at
60mph.

Greetings from a dynamic shopping mall
Greetings from a dynamic shopping mall
05/29/2004 03:07 PM
I've always seen collections of boring
postcards but always wondered where people found such random
tributes to a humble gas station or burger joint. A few days ago I
found this deliciously boring postcard of the Forum shopping
mall in Helsinki which is described as "The dynamic, continental
shopping centre in the heart of Helsinki." Wow, what's a dynamic
shopping centre?! Who would send this postcard to someone and what
would they say?
Darling Veronica,
Salutations from Helsinki! The shopping center is nothing like Palm
Beach but they have a food court with two McDonalds! They have this
shop, Merimekko, that is just like Lilly only with a
bit more of the kitchen curtain appeal! They have electricity,
plumbing, and FedEx! Can you believe it? I always thought Russia was
filled with a bunch of people living in yurts or something and riding
reindeer! What a scream! Those Japanese wireless Nokia phones sure
seem popular around here, too, as everyone seems to be talking into
them. Can't understand a single word they're saying though. Nothing
seems to be open all night, except for the sunshine [no tanning rays
:(], so we have to run and go find something to eat before everything
closes. The cruise ship heads for Stockholm tomorrow, bork! bork!
bork! Love to Mopsie!

The Father of the Shopping Mall
The Father of the Shopping Mall
12/24/2003 12:10 PM The Father of
the Shopping Mall "His most remarkable innovation--unveiled
in
Edina, Minn., in 1956--was the first enclosed shopping mall, a
climate-controlled community of retailing under a single vast canopy.
But it was intended to be more than just a place to shop. It was to
provide a center to otherwise centerless developments, offering
community, entertainment and even enlightenment. Gruen lamented that
Americans, at the time, were living 'detached lives in detached
houses.' With his shopping-center designs, Mr. Hardwick writes, '
Gruen
hoped to offer a corrective to this grim and soulless American
environment.' "

Dress code at the mall
08/27/2004 01:46 PM
David Pescovitz:
The conservatown that spawned me--Cincinnati, Ohio--now boasts a mall
with a dress code. Rent-a-cops at Cincinnati Mills mall hand out
yellow code of conduct slips to those violating behavior and,
amazingly, clothing policies. For example, Miami University sophomore
Donnie Jefferson was "cited" two different times for sporting a
sideways baseball cap. On another occasion, he says, a group of his
friends who were wearing white t-shirts and jeans were escorted out.
Hmmm... I wonder if it's because Donnie and his pals happen to black.
No, it couldn't possibly be that. Not a chance.
"We have to be consistent across the board with the cap issue... There
are, unfortunately in these days and times, groups that would mistake
that as a different message and we don't want that," Jim Childress,
Cincinnati Mills general manager, told WCPO. "In our business a
customer is a customer. There is no distinction among age, religion,
ethnic background."
I'd love to send a middle-aged white guy in there rocking a sideways
Reds cap and see how he's treated.
