Joan Didion’s essay “On the Mall” in Part IV of The White Album (1979)
Malls of America blog of “Vintage photos of lost Shopping Malls of the ’50s, ’60s & ’70s”
City X Radiolab podcast about the impact of the mall on “city x” — generic mid-America city
my ongoing fascination (“I love the smell of commerce in the morning.”)
