To do

 * According to a photo in the 20th Anniversary Book, there's a photo showing six tenants in the basement: Filene's Basement and The Rx Place (both charter tenants), Linens & Wares (charter tenant, maybe?), Old Navy (added in 1995, have a reference somewhere), Jo-Ann Fabrics, and Nobody Beats the Wiz, so based on the placement of the Wiz, it's probably circa 1996-1997.
 * Confusingly, an article mentions a leakage at Linens N Things in 1990, which was in the basement.
 * When did the particularly grandiose things of Destiny USA be revealed? I think it must have been 2000-2003 (the DeadMalls.com link, "Nexus of Excess", a collection of articles, is down). The Flash movie at DeadMalls.com has what some of the "areas" were (Active Life, Fountain of Youth, ThEATery, Fashion District, Americana, Home, The Great Outdoors), although some of them were altered by 2007 to include things like a "Tuscan Village", which may or may not have been related to Made In Italy. There were to be glass-enclosed parks and lakes, etc. and "Winter Garden and Erie Canal Experience", which looked like, based on a picture, to resemble an indoor "Riverwalk" of sorts. Continuing on the video on DeadMalls, there were to be 400 shops, 30 restaurants and cafes, and 4000 hotel rooms (30 restaurants and cafés seem pretty small based on the area)
 * Kahunaville looks like it came on in 1998 and closed in 2004. It was taken by Steve & Barry's University Sportswear later, something Shopping Mall Museum is wrong on.
 * Did Kaufmann's Furniture Galleries ever turn into a Macy's Furniture Gallery? I don't think it did.
 * I managed to get a circa '99 shot of the Carousel Center Commons, with the six tenants being in definite places. There was Kahunaville in the upper right (later Steve & Barry's, now vacant), Nascar Silicon Motor Speedway (gone by 2002 and still vacant by the looks of it), CompUSA (closed in 2006, reportedly, and still vacant), Mikasa (china store, apparently, and now DSW), Finish Line (still there, occupies rather large space), Old Navy, Jo-Ann Fabrics & Crafts (gone now, absorbed into Old Navy and/or still vacant), and Xpress Place (see below).
 * It looks like according to the map, section CA (old Xpress Place) is now 99¢ City and Against All Odds, so that area isn't vacant anymore.
 * Merge section "Layout" into History, or fix it to Destiny USA standards. Since 2007, H&M does not have an exterior exit.
 * Remove section "Services", post office closed in early 2011 anyway.
 * Remove section "Former anchors" once I integrate it fully. There's still some stuff left in it.
 * Remove "Destiny USA" once integrated.
 * Fix formatting, it looks kind of weird now.
 * Get references that haven't been gotten!
 * Browse the History of Destiny USA and Destiny USA pages, look for anything worth it (I don't think that the DUSA court battles should be placed here)
