It's crap like this that makes me wish for blanket landmark designations to be codified into law. Amusement parks built by streetcar lines to stimulate ridership were early examples of pulling development outward from cities (that they were mechanical playgrounds was a bonus). Shopping malls and office parks are the automobile equivalent of streetcar amusement parks. Oh, how the world has progressed.
