Inside, it looks just like a mall. But what gives it its charm is that it's underground! I felt like I was exploring an underground city that thrived after some horrific disaster that occured above ground. For a few seconds, I thought 'Waterworld' meets "Blast from the Past". There really is no logic behind it, but that's what I felt, and what I feel is a result of my feelings. That makes sense.
There weren't many chain-retail stores (they were all above ground, those snooty bastids), mostly off brands and family-owned businesses. But browsing through mom-and-pop shops made me feel warm inside. Some of the shopowners tried their best to push merchandise, and I was a victim of their puppy-face guilt-trip sales pitches. But no worries, I needed another pair of faux-shearling-lined cowboy boots.
