I had all sorts of names for the 90 when I lived near Sullivan. None of them are fit to print in a family journal such as this. When it ran, it was the perfect bus. It took me right by Rachel's and to Davis Sq, but I think it only ran twice a day on alternate Tuesdays and Thursdays.
I was kind of fascinated by the Assy. Sq. Mall, too. I wonder if it's more dead now than it was 3 years ago. Is there anything at all in there other than Kmart?
That site doesn't have my dead mall, which is actually no longer dead. The Tallahassee Mall occupied a huge amount of space right on the main north-south street in town. In the early 80s another mall was built a couple miles east of the capitol. Tally Mall became a ghost town. At one point in high school, it had two big box stores (the now defunct Gayfer's chain and the now defunct Montgomery Wards chain), an American Cookie Company, a tiny two screen movie art house theatre, and Nothing Else. You could actually hear the air conditioners moving the air. Then in the early 90s it was finally sold and the new owners put a ton of work into revitalizing it. They built a new wing that has a Dillard's and a Burdine's in it, a food court, and a ten screen, stadium seating AMC Theater. The theater went in around 1995. For the first couple of years, that wing was busy and the rest of it was a ghost town, but eventually the whole mall came back to life.
