Random Memorial for Monday 12/16/13

Gone but not forgotten:  LA Tan.

Not every LA Tan ... just the one that *was* inside the Century Mall ... which was the one that *was* next to the Lincoln Park Kaplan Center (when that *was* fully staffed and *was* my work-home for many many years pre-2010).

According to the landpeople, there are some exciting things to come in the empty spaces in this mall (I'm not sure if disclosing them would violate any confidentialities ... so hmu privately [as the kids say] for gossip) ... but this particular storefront was special to me based on the trade we made for them to keep our spare key in return for fulfilling the most random of their copy requests (and because it provided a steady stream of eye candy visible from our center's windows back in the day).

That which I affectionately called "la tan" (as in fa-la-la-la-la) ... you will be missed.
