The theatres seemed open, so we asked the kid working there what the deal was...he replied he was going to school here and wasn't sure why the mall was 'slow' today...obviously he stays really immersed in his passion of buttering corn to not realize the mall he works in has less action than the local cemetery.
All of a sudden behind us, seemingly out of nowhere, piano music and a group of 15 uncoordinated ballerinas begin performing in a defunct food court. Disturbing and entertaining simultaneously.
The visible employees of the Sears, a store actually open, are huddled together at the entrance in an attempt to ward off loneliness and insanity...our guess is that the suicide rate here in the mall is among the highest this nation has in the ol' statistic books...
The lady working the perfume section of the Elder Beerman shop keeps trying to make eye contact with us...we may yet befriend her out of pity's sake...
At least the flies in this mall are happy to land on you repeatedly without shame.
The best feature here is the free playland for kids (where we keep expecting to see tumbleweeds blow by) that features riding cars and slides, and also features a sign saying 'do not climb on the toys'
I will say this though, it has one helluva good wi-fi signal.
We're still tenting it tonight. The guy at the auto body shop is letting us sleep in his field.
Everyone we've met here has been super friendly and pleasant to talk with, far more so than most encounters back in Canada. Bowling Green has been pretty awesome to us so far, and we have at least one more night, so we're off to do some more exploring...
Hopefully heading to Toledo tomorrow to sort out some plane tickets.
In a fit of happy insanity, we may even check out the local Walmart tonight...we're hoping to coerce a greeter into letting us use their shower facilities as our body oils seems to be attempting to rebalance themselves in strange and odiferous ways...
Like, later, eh!!
Mike
