Line 1:
The '''Mall of the Millennium''' is a fictional supermall featured in the episode, "[[Malled]]," located about 100 miles away from [[Lawndale]]. A floor-by-floor map of the mall appears in ''[[The Daria Diaries]],'' including many colorfully named stores. It also appears in detail in the PC game, <i>[[Daria's Inferno]]</i>. The facility has a large parking area that uses trams to carry customers from the distant parking to the entrances. In the episode, it is during the tram ride that [[Daria Morgendorffer]] gets sick. Inside, the mall uses a complicated letter-color-number system to identify different areas.
 
In concept, it's a clear spoof of the then-new [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mall_of_America Mall of America]. Because the name is similar to that of the real [http://www.mallatmillenia.com Mall at Millenia], it is hypothesized to be part of the [[Florida Connection]].

A gift and knickknack store. Daria and Jane comment about them being cheap and useless. Daria's $20 coupon is for the Doo Dad Shop. When she goes to use it, she is swarmed by the shop's staff.

Her picture is turned into a huge poster that hangs in the window of the shop.

Line 64 ⟶ 66:
A selection of stories in which the Mall of the Millennium plays a significant role appears below. The links are in no particular order. It is unfortunately not uncommon for fanfic writers to forget that the Mall of the Millennium is ''not'' in [[Lawndale]] itself (perhaps it was confused with the [[Lawndale Mall]]), but is instead about two hours away by car or bus, leading to stories in which characters walk from their homes to that specific mall. It is also not uncommon to see the word "millennium" misspelled in creative ways.
