- YES! We have *exactly* the same placement of toy store and Dalton's at the
- mall here. Same damn train. I was in the middle of the bookstore and the
- noise was driving me nuts, even though you'd think a half-dozen aisles of
- books and people would act as a sound baffle. I did stomp over to the toy
- store and turn the thing off.

- Peeve: the bookstore is full of howling kids wanting to get their parents
- to take them across to the toy store.
