What really struck me about my trip back to the Midwest (Chicagoland) this time was just the sheer size of everything.
The roads were very wide, the buildings huge, the stores ginormous….But first, a sign outside a bar in weather-weary Chicago:
Meijer. It’s bigger than Wal-Mart.
Check-out lanes to infinity….(actually 28 of them)
Tons of carts
Plus-size carts for large families
This long aisle could easily house a family or two.
AMC 30 - HUGE, much bigger than anything in SoCal. This was just one part of it.
