ON THE LIST OF DESTINATIONS you’re pining to visit, I would bet there is nary a suburb to be found — or, at least, not one American suburb. There’s good reason for that; as we Statesiders well know, if you’ve been to one godforsaken strip-mall wonderland, you’ve been to them all.
Yet somehow we all find ourselves in the suburbs every now and then: visiting family, business trips, or perhaps you even live in one (though, if that’s the case, you might’ve taken enough offense by now and stopped reading). It can be tough to not write these trips off as time wasted, to not be reduced to eating at Applebee’s and renting from Blockbuster.
