My first paying job was taking public opinon polls in MetroCenter. In those days, there were three fountains, and about once each month, someone would dump bubblebath in one of the fountains.

Sometimes someone was even me.

I remember that happening from time to time. I also remember teenagers making out in the glass elevators.

But -- do you remember the lounge over the ice rink that was an old airplane?

No, by the time my parents divorced and we moved up from Tucson, it was already a chain restaurant. But I do remember the ice rink! That area is now a movie theater, and the food court is all floored.

I remember reading not too long ago that they were remodeling Metrocenter, so I imagine it would look nothing like I remember.

But, I did find this video clip on youtube:

I've never been to Phoenix, but those pictures bring back memories of El Paso. Every year, from the end of March through April is the "windy season" - sustained winds of 35-50 mph, with gusts up to 70-75, all day long. I really don't miss having to spend an eight hour shift outside in that.
