The Mall of America - only a few miles from where I type - is in
Bloomington, Minnesota (a suburb of Minneapolis). It is only the US's
largest enclosed mall, with a Knott's Camp Snoopy with roller coasters
and more. [this is not the largest mall in the world, or North
America, that being the one in Edmonton]. It can be a fun and
interesting place to while away time (and one's wallet).

I don't know the details - I'd read elsewhere (GEnie) about the summer
plans P'mount had to send costumed characters around to their theme
parks (of which the MOA is NOT one). I know that my foot size (13)
exempted me from being eligible to be a Klingon (apparently TRUE
Klingon's don't exceed 12). I suspect this may be a pre-network
publicity thing, as we do have a station in town that will be part of
the Paramount network.
