If you were to walk into four shopping malls in vastly different areas of the US, would it be easy for you tell--for example if you were in Buffalo, Minneapolis, Denver, Seattle or Mobile?

Except for speech patterns of the customers, and the obvious difference in apparel--like tons of winter stuff up north and none of it down here in the south--today's malls are clones. Even the strip malls look the same.

I travel a lot, and it's almost impossible to tell where I am anymore by the interior or exterior of a mall. The newer strip malls in Florida all strive to look like Miami-cool, even in Pensacola or St. Augustine. I think it's a shame that they don't play up the differences and uniqueness of a city, but these malls are apparently also the work of the developers who spin out the cookie cutter housing developments. Ever tried to find a specific house in a new development where you can't see the house numbers?

In Florida, just look for the split level, pink/gray or sand color stucco exterior with white trim, with requisite garage as you first turn in the driveway.....good luck. I like the older neighborhoods that have a little character. I also like it better when the post offices were in older buildings, instead of the blue and brick clone, and when I could tell if I was in California or Florida or Detroit.

Oh well. They say older folks don't adapt well to change. This isn't change, this is overbearing sameness.

relies upon on what your 'finances' is. while you're staying in Manila, i might stay in Manila for basically some days. Manila is costly. inn rooms will fee you everywhere from 1600p a night to approximately 4000p a night. lodges are approximately 40 5 USD a night to approximately a hundred USD a night to stay in Manila, i might finances for greater or less two hundred - 250 USD an afternoon. There are affordable lodges around the Malate / Ermita section - yet you may prefer to be careful in those factors for %. wallet / theives. there is alot to do and spot in Manila. Its a genuine eye opener. attempt to not stay Manila for too lengthy in case you may help it. as quickly as you artwork out what your finances is going to be, come back and ask this question back. rather annoying to respond to until eventually you recognize how plenty you may spend
