To the author: Thanks for this. I grew up in Tallahassee (actually, Havana, but even fewer people know where Havana is than know where Tallahassee is). I spent way too many hours of my childhood in Tallahassee Mall, Governor's Square Mall (I remember when it opened), and the long-dead Northwood Mall.

Now I live in Singapore, another place with heat, humidity, rain, mosquitoes, and reptiles eager to ruin your day. What it has that Tallahassee doesn't: literally dozens of malls. :)
