"Mit der
Abschaffung der Meinungsfreiheit, zunächst in

des Rechtsstaates, der Weg in die Knechtschaft,
betreten.
Denn wo die
Wahrheit gering geschätzt wird, geht bald die

nicht gefällt. "

weil ihre Regierung zu klein gewesen wäre."

Description
This shopping mall is located in the middle of the town of Bridgewater, Nova Scotia right on the bank of the river LaHave near the Old Bridge, on the busy intersection with Dairy Queen, Tim Hortons and a car repair shop. A movie theater, Home Hardware and many other small stores are in a close walking distance. The Mall is a long rectangular building
with a flat roof and brown brick siding with some names of the businesses, such as Zellers, Payless Shoe’s and Sobeys in big letters attached to it. Along the front side of the building stretches a parking lot for customer’s cars. From this parking lot, three doors lead the way inside the mall: one is placed in the middle of the front side and two some
distance to the right and left of it. This two doors lead into the biggest stores: the retail outlet Zellers occupies the right end of the mall, the food market Sobeys the left end. The central entrance leads to a “central court”, a spacious square in the middle of the mall. There is an information desk and also two small sitting areas, which belongs
to a Chinese eatery and A&W. The other sitting space of the mall is near Sobeys. This one belongs to Tim Hortons and Dairy Queen. Tables and chairs are fixed units made of wood. Only the Chinese eatery has single pieces of furniture. The floor of the corridors and sitting areas is covered in beige tiles, while the floor of the shops is gray linoleum.
All the walls are painted white. The mall is brightly lit by electrical light. Along the corridors and above the sitting areas are lamps installed in the ceiling. Each shop has each its own illumination. Some have chosen halogen light, some big lamps and some smaller direct lights. All the shops have huge floor-to-ceiling glass doors and windows, so
that I can easily see everything inside when passing by. There are two small private shops: the cobbler’s business and a children’s toy store “Smarty Pants”. Well-known chains such as Shoppers Drug Mart, Radio Shack, Coles, Reitmans, Eclipse, Dorlene, Payless Shoes, San Francisco, and Charm Jewelry occupy the other places. Employees of Sobeys, Zellers
and Shoppers Drug Mart have uniforms, employees of other stores don’t. There is Scotiabank and the office of a dentist. The mall is well air-conditioned. The only smells are is the smell of coffee from Tim Hortons and cheap Chinese burning sticks from San Francisco, when I am close to those places. One quarter of the shops is empty and windows have
posters “for lease”.
Analysis
The mall occupies the best real estate spot in Bridgewater. Parking spaces provide convenience for many customers, especially from surrounding areas of the town for many kilometers. The mall itself is absolutely unremarkable. Nothing signifies the connection of the mall to the town of Bridgewater. Architecturally, the building reminds me of a shoebox
with many small compartments, walls of which could be taken out easily. The interior design is impersonal and ordinary. The same shops can be found everywhere in Canada. After my own yearlong shopping experience, I can say in general that none of the shops compare to the competition on the market belongs into the category “expensive”. Even Charm
Jewelry highest prices don’t go over 300$, which is the low end in jewelry business. The uniformed employees of Sobeys, Zellers and Shoppers Drug Mart could work in any other store of those chains from coast to coast. The Chinese eatery, the cobbler and children’s toy store are the only ones, where I would look for something special and pay close
attention to their products, menu or services, while in others I almost always know what I came for and from which rack or shelf to take it. The food from A&W, Tim Hortons or Dairy Queen is cheap and intended for customers as a fast meal between shopping errands. The sitting areas are clean, but uninviting and chairs, like in all other fast food stores
are not comfortable to linger for a long time. The owner of the Chinese eatery tried to get attention and distinguish his business in the mall from the others trough Chinese fans and pictures on the walls and single chairs and tables. The number of empty spaces in the mall is extremely high, especially for this time of the year short before Christmas,
while at the same time right outside town Wal-Mart is building a huge department store with a shopping mall attached.
Interpretation
The shopping mall attracts many people along the South Shore because Bridgewater is the only place to get services and to shop between Halifax and Yarmouth. The aim of the management is to attract people from lower and middle incomes. The Chinese eatery is the only place where the customers want to get a fast meal but still something special while A&W,
Tim Hortons and Dairy Queen target any customers who takes their services out of convenience. The personnel of Sobeys, Zellers and Shoppers Drug Mart wear a uniform, as in all their chain stores. But even if the employees of other chain shops wear their own clothes, it still doesn’t make the businesses look more individual. I think that only the
offices, the bank, children’s toy store, cobbler and Chinese eatery have permanently employed personnel. All other positions are temporary and the employees have not much interest in what they are doing. If the answer to my question is not on the label or the box of the product I most certainly won’t get it from a sales clerk. The probability, that I
will see them in couple of months working at Wal-Mart is very high. The closed down shops of the mall probably decided to relocate to the new mall or close down before their businesses take any losses, caused by new competition.
Judgment.
I think that the idea to build a shopping mall in Bridgewater was good for everybody: for the business community, for the employment situation, for the town and its citizens. The execution of it was extremely poorly done. Investors, putting such big buildings in the middle of Bridgewater and creating an impact on town architecture should think not only
about profits, but also about their social responsibilities toward the community. The place, chosen for The Bridgewater mall on the river is surely the best prime land in town, but the architect didn’t take advantage of it. In fact, the side facing the river is the back of the building with fireproof doors. It would be good for a city design if the
mall had a large long deck on the LaHave side, so the management could rent the attached stores to coffee shops, restaurants and maybe some offices. Small lounges could tempt many owners of the boats on the water to stop there, have a cup of coffee, meal or shop during the warm months. Interiors with some small touches, such as, for example blue tiles
for flooring could make a connection with the color of the river. A glass roof, maybe of a half circular form would provide a great deal of light during the day time, bring some elegance and eliminate the feeling of enclosed spaces. I am pretty sure, that the management of the mall didn’t build any relationship with its tenants, didn’t care about
attracting expensive, unusual or interesting businesses. The number of closed down shops is because of management’s policy in maintaining the image of low prices and cheap deals, but in this market there is always somebody who comes along and is lower and cheaper.

We seem to have overcome
Soviet
fascism, though the heirs
of Nazi-fascism live; but the biggest threat
to freedom
lies
in Islamic fascism.
Freedom is not
self-evident.
We are
at war – and we have to defend ourselves.
For the sake of
our
children.
Freedom knows
no compromise!

"Europa ist nicht mehr Europa, es ist 'Eurabien',
eine Kolonie des Islam, wo die islamische Invasion
nicht nur physisch voranschreitet, sondern auch auf
geistiger und kultureller Ebene."
Oriana Fallaci

"Seit
den Anfängen der Geschichte stehen sich die beiden
Antagonisten gegenüber: der Schöpfer und der
Schmarotzer. Als der erste Schöpfer das Rad erfand,
tat der erste Schmarotzer den Gegenzug. Er erfand
den Altruismus."
Ayn
Rand

"Wir
sind keine Bürger mehr, wir sind Untertanen, bloße
Zuschauer am Schicksal, das andere für uns gewählt
haben. Wir sind nur dann Bürger, wenn wir echten
Einfluss darauf haben, wie unsere Steuergelder
ausgegeben werden. Wir sind Untertanen, wenn wir die
Steuern einfach nur bezahlen, während andere
entscheiden, was mit diesem Geld gemacht wird.
"
(Robert Spencer)

"Tyranny is a
political corollary of socialism, as representative
government is the political corollary of the market
economy."
Ludwig von Mises

"There
is no comparable contractual relationship between
the state and its citizens. Therefore we resist the
enforcement-monopolistic state."
Robin

"Der Islam
vertröstet
auf das
Paradies, die Sozial-
demokraten
auf eine Besserung in zehn oder zwanzig Jahren."
Ayaan Hirsi Ali

|
"Es gibt eben
keine andere Wahl als die: entweder von Eingriffen
in das Spiel des Marktes abzusehen oder aber die
gesamte Leitung der Produktion und der Verteilung an
die Obrigkeit zu übertragen. Entweder Kapitalismus
oder Sozialismus; ein Mittelding gibt es nicht."
Ludwig von Mises
|
| |
|
"Public interest
criteria" does not mean criteria that the public
decides are in its interest. It means that the elite
– via various appointed bodies – decide what the
public’s interest is for them."
Mark Steyn

"Es
gibt keine einfachere, keine wirksamere und keine
dauerhaft verläßlichere Methode der
Herrschafts-beschränkung (und damit der
Freiheitssicherung) als dem Herrschaftsapparat die
Verfügungsmacht über das Geld zu entziehen."
Roland Baader
