Today’s NY Times Business section reports that 11,000 people work at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota. Equally staggering, “Forty million visitors arrive here each year, which, according to the mall’s promotional material, is more than visit Disney World, the Grand Canyon and Graceland combined.”

    Hey, I live 15 min. away and avoid that mall like the plague! Yes, most visitors are from out of town. It’s an overwhelming place to shop, interesting place, nonetheless…

    Best,
