According to Google Maps, it's only 266 km from Bari, Italy, to Tirana, Albania. But the journey takes 9 hours, 55 minutes.

^If only he had parked his vehicle in a mall parking lot, instead of racing from one big box outlet to the next. If only. Where are those specialty olive shops when you need them?

Yup. I've done this trip, it requires a rather sketchy overnight boat trip across the Adriatic. Tirana was pretty awesome.

When a city only gets 4 inches of rain a year, that helps to makes things look new here, even if the house is 40 years old!

Last time I checked Detroit malls were doing fine. Some aren't what they used to be but the worst were cleared away before they could become a spectacle.

Looking back in time: here's a photo of a full parking lot at the Bari Pointe Fashion Center, back in the good old days before the Bari Mall Crisis of 2012-2013.
