     Oh, think Logan Square shopping center then.  If it even exists
anymore.  Ye gods, that was a depressing shopping center.  I only lived there
two years, and I could see it declining from an already bad start.  My dental
plan put me at a clinic just south of it, plus it had an Odd Lots, so I went
around there a lot more often than I did the Cleveland Avenue area in
Columbus.  :)

but Manhattan KS is too small to really divide up that way.
