I visited an upscale strip mall like that last summer and was kind of confused about what it was. It just didn't fit any of my expectations for a shopping area (indoor mall, strip mall, old-fashioned downtown). I guess I need to add a new category!

Yay for finishing the semester and sitting around outside! We're going to have another spell of cold weather but it *will* pass and then I will enjoy the brief period before it becomes too buggy to relax outside.
