I'm currently in Houston and went to a local mall and it was packed in every single corridor and store. The only store that was relatively empty was Swarovsky. I admit that my mighthy Canadian dollar was worth a lot, but shopping in a mall with such craziness is impossible to make a sound choice even if everything was on sale at at least 50% off. It's bizarre how we are driven to consume so much in so little time! I can attest that even a weak economy hasn’t stopped American shoppers from hitting the malls, at least in Texas.
