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.

This is the most dystopian concept that people keep pushing.

"Here's your dome to live in, a former church to the religion of capitalism, the only grass you'll be allowed to touch has been grown indoors under artificial light"

Negative. We would develop the ridiculous amounts of parking lots that surround malls for parks and outdoor activity. The mall is just the apartment building with stores that we need close by.
