Hmmm...I can guess who the person is...read between the lines, Liland!

And Maggie, I've heard that the old Sears store is now the warehouse for one of those big online retailers (just like Amazon.com is housed in the old Public Health Service Hospital on Beacon Hill, where I worked after it became Pacific Medical Center). I'm not sure which dotcom bought the Sears building, but I'm sure somebody does. And that Sears building, with its big tower, was a twin of the one on Roosevelt Boulevard in Philadelphia, a few blocks from where my mom grew up.

There, aren't you glad you know all that?

Aloha,
Mark
