Labor Day at the Mall

Monday September 7, 2015
Location: Mall
Time: 2:20 - 3:20

I am sitting in a "rest" area of the mall. There are many stores surrounding this area, mainly fast food to the right and farther ahead. Many families are walking through this area. There are different sorts of people sitting at the benches in this area.The people walking in this area are wearing all sorts of apparel.

Considering the hot weather, a majority of the people are wearing short sleeved shirts. Jeans pants/shorts seems to be the prevalent fashion choice today. There are some women wearing spandex pants, and some men are wearing workout pants.

The mood is calm, for the most part. Everyone seems subdued. No one is yelling or excited. The kids on the bottom floor in the play area are yelling and screaming, though. One would presume they are having fun.

Right ahead of me is a man and a woman, seemingly husband and wife. The man is talking to the woman, and she seems amused by his words. To my left is a woman, a teenage girl, a little girl, and an older woman sitting on a bench. There is a teenage boy standing in front of females, talking to them. The teenage girl girl seems interested in the teenage boy. The teenage girl keeps running her fingers through her hair when she looks up at him. The woman and teenage girl seem to be entertained by the teenage boy. The woman gets up and leaves (after giving me a look) and the teenage girl stretches her body out. The teenage boy sits next to the teenage girl.

Now the teenage girl is laughing and blushing at everything the teenage boy says. They are showing each other things on their cell phones. The little girl seems bored sitting next to the teenage girl. They leave after a while.

To my left is a young woman with a baby carriage. She is looking over the balcony at the play area for the children to play in on the lower level.

Four military men pass by. They are wearing civilian clothing, but have their military backpacks strapped on. They survey the area before they head off to their destination.

Many of the groups of people/friends are of the same ethnicity. I have seen a few mixed groups, though.

There is a couple sitting across from me, a young woman and a young man. They are sharing a meal with each other. The young woman is feeding the young man. They seem to be very happy with each other. They seem to be enjoying the food, too (whatever it is that they are eating, it looks good). After finishing eating, the young man examines the box the food was in.
