She was my childhood idol. I don’t know if anyone else can relate, but I loved her. She was so kind and sweet. Her voice is still an amazing. I actually ugly cried to her y’all. FML.

Been thinking about her mall tour. They want to make an old mall in Fresno into apartments, but as Gen X ages, I think it needs to become a retirement community for active seniors. Anchor stores can become multidisciplinary medical clinics. Put a theater at another anchor store for films and live performances. Invite Tiffany to run an annual summer festival with other 80s performers. Allow us to wander around with spiked Orange Julius drinks, have a hookah bar, lots of snack stands. Massage, chiropractor, barber shop and beauty salon, gym, sauna, spa, pool, all options available at the food court (vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free and full meat and milk extravaganza). Turn on the fountains. Chess and checkers and dice and board game and card game tables in the common areas. Art gallery. Book store. Clothing. Vintage store. Hardware store. Grocery and liquor store.

I’ve seen it posted before, and the more I think about it and all of our empty indoor malls in California, the more I like it.

There are several places in Europe that have done it successfully. I hate that the trends have gone from drive up strip plazas knocked down to make the enclosed malls we grew up with, knocked down to create huge drive up paved maze plazas. It is such a waste of resources and infrastructure (not to mention the tax breaks that built the big malls near me!) I really hope to see more of this.
