Rich, I must tell you that some of the strip malls do have a character of their own. The one in Palo Alto (El Camino+Embarcadero for locals) at least has very distinctive signature. All the names of businesses in one uniform color/background etc. I actually despise the large (traditional) malls because, one can blindly expect which store is where + they do lack character. Even the public one sees in traditional mall seems to be different than the ones who frequent strip malls? achal I > I despise strip malls--could you tell? > > Rich
