this requires a poll! a legally-binding slog poll to rename the hollister store. i'll start. i vote for Manwhore Thunderdome, because the imagery is just so gripping (choosing is hard, though. the choices you gave us are truly wonderful, lindy).
Although my ancient carcass is much too old to shop at any Hollister store, I must shamefully admit to loving the perfumey air outside, and the pictures of hairless surfer boys in the windows...go ahead and shoot me now.

Hollister is a mall store for teens. It's about as confusing or threatening as Wet Seal or Forever 21. New York used to be a refuge from places like this. Now New Yorkers are no different than mall rats. What happened?
Ahem. Northgate, Southcenter, Bellevue Square, Alderwood Mall, South Hill Puyallup, Tacoma Mall, Capital Mall in Olympia, Bellis Fair in Bellingham, Vancouver Mall, Kitsap Mall, Columbia Center in Kitsap, Spokane Valley Mall, Lloyd Center Mall and three others in greater Portland. There's one in Boise.
Fnarf, since you apparently did not do well on the reading comprehension portion of the test, here goes: the gist is that *this particular Hollister store in NYC* is uniquely impressive in its own brand of apocalyptic horror.
i've spent so little time in malls during the past 10 years that i JUST figured out that Hollister clothing had nothing to do with Hollister, CA.
which makes a ton of sense. duh.
Isn't this the store that was shut down for bed bug infestation recently?
Good luck!
Along with 1, let me say: do go to the Tenement Museum. It's fucking outstanding.
