I think you are referencing the Country Club Plaza, which is somewhat famous for their Christmas lights. It’s funny how it was the first drive-up shopping district-—that Spanish shopping mall. That area is about three miles south of downtown.

Thank God we don’t have any tunnels like the Teddy tunnel. I can’t blame you for avoiding that unnatural disaster like the Bubonic. Maybe Ted needs some molasses-based mash to fill his DC liquor trought. While you’re at it, throw the Kennedys in the harbor. This would save everyone from their misery.

Yes, that's the Plaza I meant. Couldn't remember the "Country Club" part. It was beautiful and very nice but I thought then that some of the shops were a bit pricey - but very nice. Perhaps they've become more price-competitive in the last few years.

As for the Teddy Tunnel, the whole effort was locally called "The Big Dig" and it continued for years and years. It must have been quite profitable for some.

Actually I'm afraid that if any of the Kennedys were thrown in the harbor (though richly deserved) it might spoil the tea there - but keep up the warm thoughts.
