Victoria Hinz "Topos and Chora"

Topos is a location of a place. Chora is an energizing force. At first I was I was a little confused by this subject, but as I kept reading and the example with McDonald's cleared it up. McDonalds is a place, so it is topos. When something exciting happens at McDonalds, like a proposal or some other sort of exciting event, that makes it chora. To one person a place could just be topos but it could be chora to another person. It all depends on what experiences people have been through. Obviously, McDonald's is just a normal fast food place for most people so it will mostly be topos. I do not ever think that a McDonalds will have chora for me, but I'm sure that some places have chora for me and its just topos for others.
