More of the deserted Mall - again taken from outside for fear of trespassing and bodily injury. I suspect that a number of teenagers etc are using this place as a hang out as several cars drove the parking lot while I was there and didnt stop and there really is no reason to be there at all - they kind of just looked at me and drove off.
I had originally driven to try to find a ghost town called Climax, TX to take some shots of the deserted buildings there - and realized that:
a) The "country" scares me more than ANY urban inner city area ever has or ever could and I have been in some bad ones - hell I lived in Toxteth.
b) What remains of Climax, TX is probably on private property and it didnt look like strangers were welcome
c) I think I understand now why meth is a popular rural pastime in the states.
Then on my way home - found this old mall that looks like it has been deserted for quite a while so snatched a victory from the jaws of defeat,
Anywho - enjoy!

Value(s) for Money? Philanthropy as a Catalyst for Social Change (March 6-9, 2014)
Increasing social and environmental challenges, writ globally, are raising the stakes for philanthropy to find "solutions". The deeply complex nature of these challenges, however, defies easy fixes and requires more sophisticated and diffuse systems level approaches. Is the philanthropic sector ready, or capable of meeting critical systemic challenges? Probably not, as seen through the lens of Michael Edwards in a recent think piece entitled 'Beauty and the Beast: Can Money Ever Foster Social Transformation?'.
Innovative funding mechanisms that support social change - like crowd-funding, social impact bonds, payments for eco-system services and prize-backed challenges - have diversified the funding landscape and brought in new resources. The system, however, is arguably out of balance with too much focus placed on revenue-generation, and directing financial resources, through the market. At the same time, less funding is available for the deeper, less tangible drivers of social change - change that is driven by the beneficiaries themselves and is inherently more democratic. Money, while a seemingly essential tool in change processes, can be a "curse", reinforcing or exacerbating the very circumstances and power imbalances at the heart of systemic social challenges.
The objective of this program, in partnership with Hivos, is to shape a new narrative on funding for deep social change that can influence current and future funding trends and global policies.
