The first time I visited an outdoor mall was when I was in FL! I didn’t realize that it was the norm there, then you walk around & just pop into any store you want, however up north you are in a big facility & completely covered.
- It is necessary for the wahter.
I remember hating going to the mall. You would need to wear thick coats, boots, hats, & gloves to walk from the parking lot to the mall, but then you would walk around the mall in snowboats & have to carry all your gear. It was heavy, bulky, & sizzling if you choose to wear it, however when I moved to FL the concept of an outdoor mall was so foreign to me… So I get to walk around & see the shop fronts. I get to be in the sun & feel the breeze. The weather is always super nice in FL too. I cherish that I can wear a hat & sunscreen in the summer; During the winter season it is a actually lightweight coat & pants. I never need to carry anything other than maybe an umbrella. The stores in the mall are undoubtedly good about temperature control. In the summer time it is nice ducking into a locale to get a crisp blast of cold AC. In the winter season they make sure to have a good heating system running to keep us warm. I cherish this method of HVAC. The outdoor mall is particular to the southern states, but my section of St, petersburg has a undoubtedly good outdoor mall that I frequent all the time.
