"midtown"

[Peter A. McGraw]

Then there are those of us who never talked about malls as pre-teenagers
because they hadn't been invented yet!  Uncovered "shopping centers,"
maybe, but enclosed "malls," no.  (Or at least they hadn't reached us out
here in the Wild West, where we just rode into town and tied our horses to
the hitchin' post when we went a-shoppin'.)
