The Arcade in Cleveland is one of the oldest (or the oldest standing) mall of its day in North America while Eaton Centre in Toronto is one of the biggest. I just think it's fascinating to see these spaces of consumption pictured here alongside each other. I feel lucky to have seen both of them in a few month period, where the feelings of both spaces resonated clearly with each other, even as there is a clear evolution of the engineering of space in the 70 years between their respective construction.

Hi Austin,

Great photos - I'm guessing you've seen the work of Walter Benjamin on the Paris Arcades?

Cheers

Mike
