My grandma used to take us to "Lojas Americanas" for lunch, we usualy had delicious Cheeseburgers, fries, and a "Banana Split" served inside a Pineapple for dessert. We rode on the subway, walked everywhere and went shopping for shoes and clothes. At the end of the afternoon we would go into one of the large Theathers to catch a movie and then head home. It was so much fun. At the time Sao Paulo only had Iguatemi and Ibirapuera Malls, but my grandmother hates A/C buildings with no windows. She thinks ( up to this day ) that Malls are horrible enclosed boxes with no life. She loved to take us downtown by bus, subway and walk around the nice green parks and squares. It would be great if future generations can experience that again. Malls serve their purpose in my opinion, but I do enjoy downtown shops and parks much better, consider they can restore the safety and clean streets we once had. :)<br /><br />RayAmerican Heart Brazilian Soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11049937328816904295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5660712955365418154.post-50395489340174311032011-06-24T12:32:01.664-04:002011-06-24T12:32:01.664-04:00So glad to know that this is happening.
