#11: Every Southern California Strip Mall
Picture this: a massive parking lot that could fit the population of a small country, because we all know convenience is key when it comes to cramming as many generic stores as possible in one place. And don’t worry, the 3-5 lane road leading to it will make you feel like you’re entering a Formula One race. As you stroll along, you’ll pass a tattoo parlor, because nothing screams “classy” like getting inked while surrounded by discount shoe stores.
And of course, there’s a Chinese restaurant, because nothing says authentic like a place that serves fortune cookies with every meal. Employment offices? Check, because landing a job is so much easier when it’s sandwiched between a discount pet store and a vape shop. Oh, and did we mention the mandatory doughnut shop? Because why have one option for empty calories when you can have a dozen?
