School. Mall. What's the difference? You'd still have to look at it. And since they didn't seem to see fit to landscape anything -- their dominant theme seems to be "more grass, less trees!" -- they'll certainly be looking at it a lot.

The thing is, I've been to Des Moines a few times. Like the place. Cool vibe. Even some interesting architecture. But a place like this plays into the Midwestern=boring stereotype that most people have when thinking about the plains states. It's just a big tumble of bricks and wood set on a flat plot that's basically been stripped of everything but fairway grass. No thought has been put into it, and no class or taste is on display.

Des Moines deserves better.

What's the difference between a school and a mall? Where did you learn to read and write, so you could respond to this article? Certainly not at the mall...
