Addison, if retail buildings committed crimes, not one of them could put a disguise on and hide from you. Is that what mall cops actually do?

I disagree that "the market for this type of product no longer exists," I still miss Pier 1! "Aesthetically interesting items that were slightly cheaper than top design brands but more expensive than the average discount furniture warehouse" is exactly my sweet spot. Am I really that weird? Now I guess I go to Ikea instead, but I prefer the meatballs to the household goods I have to buy there now.

I can't read "Pier 1 imports" without hearing it in Elwood Blue's voice.

Are any of the companies referenced in the Blues Brother's Mall Chase still active? Oldsmobile is long gone, so is Pier 1 Imports....
