Text Mall rats
Nancy
My friends and I go to the mall every day. We usually hang out or walk up and down looking at the clothes shop. We don’t often buy anything, but we go to the movie theater there or hang out in the ice-cream parlor.
The Kowalskis
We take the kids to the mall every weekend. We go to the bowling alley there, and the kids like eating at the food court – there’s so much choice: Mexican, Italian and plenty of fast food, of course! Sometimes Vanessa goes to the spar there. It’s great to have everything under one roof!
Tyler
My friend and I go to the mall about twice a week. We play the games in the arcade, and we like to check out the latest DVDs and computer games in the shops. Sometimes if it’s raining at the weekend, we go to the indoor skate park at the mall too.

It was a part of the large hip-hop culture that also incorporated rappers, DJs and the graffiti artists. The rock Steady Crew from the Bronx was one of the first hip-hop groups and became world famous. The group still organizes a Rock Steady Crew Anniversary every year in New York to celebrate hip-hop culture, and its main focus is always a street dance competition. The Anniversary attracts competitors from all over the world and over 20,000 observers.
