I arrived at fashion square mall to find gabe sitting quite awkwardly sandwiched between to people waiting for the bus near the smokers outpost in front of fashion square mall. I could see him from the window as we made our approached and upon recognizing my handsome, rugged, and epically bearded face peering down at him he cracked a smile and waved. Exiting the bus I met him half way between the ring of smokers and the stop, and immediately explained my plight.
"We need to GO IN, Gabe, I need to get change for you to ride back to my place."
You see, Gabe does NOT have a super convenient and super easy ada para-transit card as I do, allowing me to ride any bus in Charlottesville free of fair, and is still required to pay a pittance of seventy five cents for a single ride and a dollar fifty for a day pass.
This required us to enter the archipelago of shops, high ceilings, skylights, and cheap chinese food that is... FASHION SQUARE MALL. We of course bee-lined towards Gamestop and proceeded to browse, using the familiar atmosphere of cellophane wrapped video games as a cocoon protecting us from the surrounding hordes of mindless brain-dead slaves to consumerism that flock to fashion square on a daily basis, seeking the ever elusive "deal".
