"The holiday season is a time of merriment and joy, a time to gather with
friends and family, when we’re encouraged to slow down and remember the simple
things in life.
Ironically, it’s also when we spend hours in a car, driving to the mall for the
sales and to spend those Christmas vouchers.
When it comes to mall irony, though, few people have felt it as profoundly as
the “father of the suburban mall”, Victor Gruen, whose idealistic urban vision
became the suburban reality we know today."
