“Cities
have the capability of providing something for everybody, only because, and only
when, they are created by everybody.” Jane Jacobs. Mostly when people hear of public
space what comes to mind is a place where people meet and socialize which is true
to some extent but that is not always the point. The Starbucks in Columbia mall
tells a different story because it’s a place where people come and go. A place where
couples meet and dine or just shop around but for the Starbucks itself it’s a place
where people meet to talk about business and family issues, others to just come
there to surf the web and there are other instances where people come to just sit
around to read a story book or text on their phone. Therefore Starbucks is a place
for everyone.

I like your blog post but I thought that it was missing some detail from your "people watching" log
