The Mall Walkers

Washington Square Mall has a reputation as a ‘walker’s mall.’ I walked from the parking lot and through Macy’s which lead me to the main thoroughfare where walkers were going in every direction. I settled into a seat on a bench with a perfect view. In every direction shoppers were moving; some with packages, some with kids and a few who probably were just along for the walk.
One person who passed my spot was out of character when it comes to walking. If anyone should have been on foot, it would be this security guy. Not here. No, he’d been given a Segway scooter to buzz around on. Trouble was it made him look even taller, like John Wayne looking over a herd of cattle. Still he could still be a ‘flatfoot’ since all he did was stand in one place.
