Mall of the Millennium

From DariaWiki

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, Daria's Inferno. 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.

Because the name is similar to that of the real Mall at Millenia, it is hypothesized to be part of the Florida Connection.

The Mall of the Millennium in Daria Fanfic

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.
