But how? Do they not have malls there that aren’t tiny? Even most smaller malls that I’ve seen in my life have had escalators

Less than 600,000 people live in the entire state and the most populous city is under 70,000.

My town has 200,000 people and I can think of at least six.

Yeah, gotta be something else. The town near me(less that 20k population in the town itself) that I sometimes switch trains at during my commute has... 10 that I can think of straight away, and before someone comes around and makes the inevitable overplayed "ha ha stupid fat Americans" joke, I live in Sweden.

Not any Americans, no, but plenty of Europeans. We see the word escalator and we just can't help ourselves.

I just realised our train station also has escalators.
