In San Diego we used to have a mall called Horton Plaza. It was totally confusing. My wife called it Escher Mall after the artist that drew pictures with impossible perspective. I said its marketing tag line should have been “You can’t get there from here.”

I lived about 6 blks from Horton Plaza when it opened. Thought then and still think it is one of the ugiest, least functional "buildings" I have ever been in and was truely thought a joke by everyone I ever talked to. After one visit by locals, I think the only people who actually went there were the tourists. I just found out today that it was finally closing. I am surprised it lasted as long as it did. God but it was ugly.

Horton Plaza was open to the outdoors, which made it pretty easy to not get lost (in my opinion).
