Strip Mall Land = Comforting
Turning off New Jersey Route 17 toward my cousin’s house in Allendale it occurred to me that maybe opponents of sprawl and strip malls are overlooking one bright spot. There is something comforting about driving down Route 17 or the Rockville Pike in Maryland. You know that if you have a car and a credit card you’ll be able to get everything that you might conceivably ever need and, after all, isn’t that what American life is all about?
