I would love to have been a fly on the wall during whatever meeting birthed this unholy demon of a strip mall. I imagine it went something like this.
Tycoon 1: "I'm considering investing in a strip mall."
Tycoon 2: "Well, you'd have to market it to the key demographic."
Tycoon 1: "18-34 year-old white males?"
Tycoon 2: "No. Jewelry-buying, exercising, pizza-loving porn addicts."
Tycoon 1: "Brilliant! Don't you think we might be alienating some people, though?"
Tycoon 2: "Er . . . pedophiles?"
Tycoon 1: "Absolutely! Maybe I can work that into the name of the mall somehow."
For those keeping score at home, you can visit this temple to commercialism in Salem, NH. Once a coffee shop is added, I'll be hanging out there daily.

I am definitely putting this place on my list of places to visit in the near future.
This could be the next wonder of the world if you could fit all the mysterious, bottled up tension into one place such as this.
