It's the latest thing in shopping, at least in the Rockville/Gaithersburg portion of the state of Maryland. A shopping mall that looks like Downtown, USA. The "mall" has streets with sidewalks, parallel parking, the village square, ponds with water fowl, hotels, restaurants, movie theaters, all kinds of shopping including big box shopping. But it's all designed to look like small downtown buildings. Ironic isn't it. Gaitherburg, MD was a small, nice little rural town in the 1970's. Who knows what is left of the real downtown. We destroy small town America and then rebuild it outside of the small town. At least they now have a fake downtown at the Washingtonian Center..
