[But] pop-up stores solve a host of problems for both sides of the retail equation as the all-important fourth-quarter selling season unfolds.” The only reason I’m including this New York Post article is because the writer cited my mention how “one of those crappy Spirit Halloween pop-ups is coming to the old J&R.” I do wish the writer had asked for further comment, because I would have said this: Are pop-ups good for landlords? They’re better than nothing. Are they good for anyone else? Probably not for the people who make them, and not for the earth, since they’ll be landfill after a few hours’ wearing. The best costumes—such as the year two friends and I went as the female lifeguards of Baywatch—don’t come in a bag; they come from your imagination.
