Why I Shop Online...

I met up with Jen for a day of shopping on Saturday. It took me over twenty minutes to find a parking space in one of the garages, and this was even though I was deliberately trying to park in a "undesirable" space that was further away from the mall.

Traffic leading into one of the many parking garages at the Natick Collection (formerly the Natick mall before it went upscale) at around 2 p.m.:

Traffic still backed up over three hours later:

The most aggravating part? I walked out empty handed. Some stores were just too packed to deal with - we'd walk in, take one look and walk right out. Plus, I like being able to search for coupons when I buy things online.
