I just came from a high end indoor outlet mall in Chicago. I have never felt more out of place in my life.
1. Not racist just an observation. There were more Asian people than any other race.
2. EVERYTHING was expensive. Ceramic pot? $480 Chocolate bar. $40
3. Everyone was dressed to look nice and not to be warm. I was wearing jeans and my work jacket(best jacket I have ever owned by the way).
I bought a Dragonball Z shirt and an AC/DC shirt at Hot Topic.
