Kids today probably think that "Ames" is a code word for "abandoned shopping center."

We had one of those in my hometown. It was still going when I was a kid but was vacant for a very long time.

Awe man, their map is broken in The Wayback Machine. I wondered which one of the old department stores in town was the Hills.

We had a Gold Circle, back in East Avon. Became The Hills, I think.
