United States of Generica
suburban areas where the predominance of malls and chain stores have so h-m-genized the landscape that there are few remaining external clues where you are. the result of spending any length of time in such areas is a “generic” experience of america, i.e., an experience that is identical whether you are in texas, m-ssachusetts, ohio, or california. may also include extensive housing developments characterized by tract housing or, worse, mcmansions.
every “mom-and-pop” shop that had given the area its charm and character had been replaced by a walmart, a payless, a mcdonalds, or a starbucks — transforming what was once a delightful town into just another corner of the united states of generica.
