#OnThisDay Oct 8, 1956: Southdale, the first fully enclosed shopping mall in the world, opens in Edina, Minnesota. Architect Victor Gruen, later realizing his invention had not lived up to his utopian vision of a car-free public square, became the biggest critic of malls until his death in 1980.

As the shutdown continues, my bank account keeps getting lighter. I might have to find some part time work in the meantime. So if anyone has any leads on modeling jobs, let me know.
