As a bicyclist myself I've got to ask: Where the hell is that guy locking up that bike? Baghdad?
Thats a bit overkill if he's just running into the store or stopping for a bite (which is the only time I ever chain up to a street sign or the like). Kinda defeats the purpose of having two spots to chain to when one guy runs two different locks through the whole thing. #gizmodoremainders
@tande04: I run a very tin cable through my front tire for longer events, but that thing is just overkill. Also the bikes are meant to be secured with one on each side, so this setup still works. #gizmodoremainders
@tande04: China. You can still get a bike stolen here in the time it takes to visit an ATM - even with it chained to a pole and a wheel lock. #gizmodoremainders
@Toastie: Yeah it still works, just not as well as it could have.
You can get two bikes on a sign too, one on each side, but then you end up fumbling around the other guy's stuff, getting stuff looped, and maybe tangled. None of its a big deal, it can just get to be a hassle. A hassle that could be avoided had jackass not locked his bike down like fort knox when he's just getting a pack of gum. #gizmodoremainders
If this were built in the USA the center would be filled with kiosks and it would have a roof.
I remember Town East mall in Mesquite TX. It looks like a volcano and it used to have a big open area in the middle and then for no reason other than greed they filled up the center with shops. Now it is a big triangle with nowhere to sit.
Hope you like it Frucci. Cause I can guar-an-tee ya that something like this is in Bloomberg's folder marked Revenue Generation, sub-folder Central Park, sub-sub-folders Reservoir/Great Lawn.
@OMG! Ponies!: I have to agree Kayne, but not about the blog. The video for Single Ladies WAS the best video ever. I challenge anyone to prove me wrong with a better video for a song released this year!
It needs three Orange Julius stands, a Kay Jewelers, two Sunglass Huts, a pair of multiplexes and a food court with China Express, Nathan's, and Ranch 1.
@OMG! Ponies!: Why in the blue fuck does it only have ONE Pretzel Heaven? If I'm done eating a sacrilegious cinnamon pretzel and am on the other end of the mall, I now have to schlep all the way back to get another, when I can buy sunglasses left and right like hookers on a Cuban naval base? What a sad existence we live in.
@OMG! Ponies!: Can you even begin to fathom the vast number of cellphone accessory kiosks required for a mall of this size? Or the intense smugness of the mall cops that would be required?
You're going to lava our great deals! We vent all over the world to find crater products and savings for you! You won't go bank-erupt at our mall. You'd feel like an ash for shopping anywhere else.
Powerful enough? It's not the gun that produces the power (unless it's a rail gun or something similar). All it can do is increase the accuracy of whatever bullet you're able to put inside.

@CSX321: Here is what it used to look like on the inside. They have since built another building around the center so the open area is lost.

@VeeDub: We don't generally concern ourselves with the glory of our architecture unless it can be used in a questionable manner.
