Hot Days of Los Angeles: Yes, We Shop At Malls

I guess that pale white skin preferred by Korean ladies comes at the expense of looking like a welder. Found on the streets of L.A. as well as on Little Seouls.

Well, in the spirit of finding news on a hot, slow news day, the venerable California Apparel News called around to shops and malls during a weekend in Los Angeles when temperatures went soaring. Seems they found out what we all know: people will head to the malls when it gets hot, but for those retailers on chic, trendy streets --the crowd thins.

Anyone who has spent a summer in the tremendously hot and humid Savannah or anywhere else, already knew this. A dash to downtown will be walking store to store just to take in the air conditioning until one gets to their intended destination. People don't feel like buying because they're sweaty and the brain isn't working. If they're going to buy, they head to a mall or a megastore. I'm not kidding when I say the busiest places on a hot day are Wal Mart, Target, and a mall. People want to be somewhere for awhile, not dash in and out of buildings as though they were human targets for heat.

Ah well. That wasn't news, just a comment about leaning on the obvious on a slow news day.
