midtown

America's town square, Midtown Plaza mall in Rochester NY with its animated Clock of the Nations, tropical plantings, entrances to stores, shops and services. The mall is the centre of the 7 1/2 acre Midtown Plaza, the nation's largest downtown business and shopping complex under one roof.

Opened to great fanfare in 1962 and demolished in 2010

I distinctly remember visiting here, probably within the first year of its opening, so as a five year old. A souvenir model of the clock of nations was treasured for years.
