Demographics from last census: White 61%, Black 9%, Latino 11%, Asian 20%. A lot of the Asian demographic is here because of tech jobs. I saw people from all of those categories in the local news coverage I watched.

It’s called an outlet mall, but it’s a nice part of town and the last time I shopped there (pre-Covid), the merchandise wasn’t much different or cheaper than a regular mall.

Makes me wonder if he also had some personal connection/grudge with the mall.
