I've never heard of either of those terms.  I'd have thought that maybe certain areas of Las Vega might have strip malls.   :)

 :lol: It does sound funny when you think about it!

Well, whatever you call it, I want to make one in playmobil too, now. ;D Ebay, here I come!

Nice display of shops!  Do you have the shelf hanging on the wall?  It's difficult to find places to display things :)

Does this answer your question  ;)

very nice to see someone make a row of shops with these sets. You did a great job on setting them all up

Thanks for sharing

I always thought the shops looked more like an American strip mall when connected (versus individual shops). It is very common here to have them as one connected building with all the same architecture and colors, similar signs, usually one story, with lots of parking in front.  They are built to service local housing developments in modern suburbs. Very American, and I hate to say it, very boring (strip malls that is, not your set up--I like your street very much). :)

Funny it really had never occurred  to me that this was an american thing. Strip malls seem totally normal to me, every store I shop at isin one, except walmart.  :lol:

That is what we call a parade of shops in the UK.
