Full disclosure: The article quoting Bradbury was written in 1991... 15 years after the Glendale Galleria opened.. which was 20 years after Southdale Center opened in Edina, MN. Bradbury certainly thought he was all that. Actual influence is up to debate.

Good catch there. I found that "technically irrelevant" portion of the article a bit odd anyway. It was tangential enough to have me not really care. What's surprising to me is the idea that this is something worth celebrating at all - as the poster suggests. Not that I wouldn't want to go to the events, I just don't think celebration is the correct sentiment. Perhaps it should say "Suffering 59 years of the enclosed american shopping center."
