True story: When I very first moved to DC, I had a college internship at a nonprofit and felt very cool. Except that I only had white athletic socks — I had never had to wear dress socks on a regular basis — so I needed socks. And I opened up a map (this was the old days) and saw a GIGANTIC mall in the middle of the city. I headed down there the next day, saw what it was, and thought “I may be too big of a hillbilly to make it here.”
And this is how I learned that the Washington Mall isn't a shopping centre!
