When we were in Chile and looking to leave, my husband had two job offers for back in the US - one in South Dakota and one in Connecticut. When he was interviewing at each place, they gave him a bunch of brochures for the area. In each packet was a brochure for the local mall.
Well, he said I could choose the place. Connecticut had the better mall, so that's where we moved.
And, in all honesty, there was more (his mother in Boston was in hospice). But the mall played a big part in it.
