I was almost too late to see the plaza for the last time - and I wouldn't have, if I didn't go to the one-day charity auction which cleared out most of the remaining furniture and fixtures remaining in the place.Kinda sad - seeing the whole place empty and devoid of people. I almost wish I had made my last visit when it was still open.

So your earliest/only memories of Midtown are from when it was already shit. Sad. How long could you have been living out of town at your young age to "miss" the city so much, unless you moved away with your family while you were still a kid?

You will also be glad to find out that you cannot see our Clock of Nations without a boarding pass! I was at the airport today and a security guard told me so. According to Monroe County, we can only see this timepiece during the holiday season. Maggie Brooks´ little rule will backfire soon.

My memories of Midtown and the Clock of Nations date back to 1963. I loved the mall and was always fascinated by the clock. I left the area in the early 80s so I was not aware of the downfall of Midtown. How sad as it was quite a shopping hub in those days. I was glad to see that the clock has been restored and is now at the airport before being permanently installed at Strong.

I also visited Midtown Plaza for the last time yesterday. I took a lot of pictures and shot some more video clips for my documentary. I also met some nice people and will miss seeing familiar faces. Matt, our Clock of Nations left Midtown in April and was restored. You can see it at the Greater Rochester International Airport soon, but I am not sure when.

Although I no longer live in Upstate NY, I made a last visit to Midtown Plaza yesterday. Today is the last day it is open to the public. The memories of shopping at McCurdy's (their 7-layer cake was to die for) B.Forman, Casual Corner, All Day Sunday etc. etc. As a kid I always wanted to dive off the stairs into the pool & fountain. So sad to see it go.

So glad I grew up in that mall as a child of the 70s. It was magic!
