...Cody assembled his Wild West show (complete with conquered Sioux Chief Sitting Bull) and sent it out on tour aboard U.P. trains. "I don't need an economist to tell me when things are good or bad," Young says as he watches for the flash of headlights over the windswept horizons, signaling long freights coming from east and west. If Young records more than 100 trains a day, as he has lately, he knows commerce is getting better someplace.

The Florida theme extends from the logo, a saw-toothed alligator, to parking-lot markers (a yellow toucan, a pink flamingo, etc.), to a windswept-looking Hurricane Food Court, complete with wind sounds and swirling banners. Shoppers stroll under palmetto trees down four "main streets" with themes ranging from Caribbean to Art Deco. And, for family amusement, miniature golf, roller skating and a movie theater are in the works...
