Mall walking is often seen as the domain of senior citizens<\/a> who want a level, indoor path to get their steps in. But in Portland, Ore., a group of all ages is creating a different kind of mall walk. They strap on retro spandex and sweatbands, blast ’80s music, and essentially put on a high-viz, high-cardio parade through the mall that’s part exercise \u2026 part performance art. The group, which meets weekly, is known as the Food Court 5000<\/a>.<\/p>\n
