Thanksgiving is this week and as the holiday shopping season comes upon us, we’ll look at one of the iconic American institutions: the shopping mall. We’ll talk with a writer at The Atlantic Cities who says that despite how engrained it is in our culture, the mall is preparing to retire. We'll also hear a class piece from radio producer Jonathan Mitchell. He produced a soundscape of his hometown mall called "City X."
GUESTS:
- Emily Badger, Staff Writer for The Atlantic Cities
- Ryan Severino, Senior Economist and Associate Director of Research for Reis Reports
- Nicholas DiMaio, Photographer, blogger at The Caldor Rainbow
