You're right.  "Midtown Mall" didn't sound right when I wrote it, but
Midtown Plaza was one of the 4 or 5 malls that existed there when I was a
kid, so it was one of the things that counted when you talked about 'the
malls', which as a pre-teenager, I probably did.

Sibley's is now Kaufmann's and the midtown branch is no more.

God, Larry, you know about everything.  Or maybe in your omniscience I
should refer to you as God-Larry.

Try not to let that go to your head.
