...host to a history of the motorcycle two seasons ago and would probably put on the New York Auto Show next if that's what it takes to get customers through the door. To keep it all from seeming too much like an afternoon at the better sort of mall, the installation will be designed by Robert Wilson, the ethereal creator of the better sort of stage productions...
...county") recently became the richest county in America, with a median household income of $90,937. An estimated 2,000 high-tech firms are on hand there, helping attract 20,000 new residents each year. A decade ago, the main Fairfax shopping center, Tysons Corner, was just a big mall. Today Tysons is the 14th largest business district in the U.S. It consists of two strip malls and two mega-malls near one another, with 80,000 people working in the vicinity and dozens of high-end outfitters--like the local Tiffany & Co., which outsells the company's flagship store...
...Champs-Elysees, Paris's widest Grand Boulevard, capped by the Place de la Concorde (where Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette were guillotined) at one end and the Arc de Triomphe at the other, no longer looks French.

Ashford's downtown retailers were nervous at first, admits Jo James, manager of the local Chamber of Commerce. But so far, losses to traditional retailers have been "minimal, on the whole around 1%." Moreover, James explains, the mall draws mostly shoppers from outside the region who wouldn't normally shop in Ashford...
...office developers, Kaempfer Co. Trouble hit in the early '90s, when the capital's property market collapsed and left Kaempfer Co. wallowing in $1 billion worth of red ink. (It avoided bankruptcy and is once again profitable.) Meanwhile, Kaempfer invested in McArthurGlen, once America's largest outlet-mall developer, which built 32 centers across the U.S. When its big-name tenants, including Liz Claiborne and Nike, urged a European expansion, Glen told Kaempfer, "I'm too tired, I'm too old, I'm too busy. So if you want to do it, you do it and give us a small...
