BB,
What an amazing coincidence. If it was a movie script, you wouldn't believe it.
When I first looked into the history of this picture, I tracked down the location it was taken from with a view to taking a present-day picture. Unfortunately that particular line-of-sight has been obscured by new tall buildings for at least 12 years.
wiggy,
Yes, the irony of a Versace store in the shot (plus all the other usual suspects in that particular mall) had not escaped me.
It is a shame I didn't think to take a better located photo before the mall was built.
