Dell Geography
I got a catalog from Dell in today's mail. On page A16 is a list of their kiosk locations. None in Massachusetts, but there are five in New Jersey. Listed as the "Newark Area" is Rockaway Townsquare. I grew up on the western edge of Morris County, and spent many idle hours of my adolescence at the Townsquare Mall, so I can safely say: NEWARK? Rockaway's the Newark Area?
Dell lists five locations under four "area" categories, as shown below. I've added the actual town the mall is located in, and the distance from that town to the city of Newark (as given by GeoBytes).
- Bergen Area: Westfield Garden State Plaza, Paramus (15 miles)
- Middlesex Area: Bridgewater Commons Mall, Bridgewater (24 miles)
- Middlesex Area: Woodbridge Center Mall, Woodbridge (13 miles)
- Monmouth Area: Freehold Raceway Mall, Freehold (35 miles)
- Newark Area: Rockaway Townsquare, Rockaway (22 miles)
So two malls of the five are closer to Newark than Rockaway. I'm not sure why Dell wouldn't just call Westfield GS Plaza the "Paramus Area", since Paramus is one of the busiest retail districts in the nation, and probably more recognizable than Bergen.
In other news, there's a Wikipedia category for New Jersey shopping malls.
