Mall folk June 1997


It's the Summer Solstice in 1997, and people are sitting by the water pond and fountain in the Tysons Corner Mall. This water element contained a sweeping curved slab of grey marble as a bench. There were also palm trees, which could not be made to survive in the indoor environment. Later the faux-tropical water spot was removed and replaced with a sushi bar where the pieces of sushi, under little clear plastic domes, ride about on a conveyer belt.
