A Very Tuba Christmas

When I was a kid, my grandparents used to take me to Midtown Plaza to ride the monorail and see Santa. It was really magical. And then as an adult I discovered the tuba Christmas event held in front of the giant Christmas tree. Well, this year is the last year that either of those things are going to happen there, since they're going to be demolishing the building sometime next year, so we decided to take Carrie to the final Christmas at Midtown.

I have to admit, I was fighting back tears several times - not for what the place is now, but for my memories of it. And the place was packed. More than I've ever seen before. Maybe if they'd had those kinds of crowds in past years the place wouldn't have gone so far downhill that it would need to be demolished...?
