The Mary Tyler Moore show ran from 1970 to 1977. I remember watching it, in our living room in Bloomfield, and loving Mary, a pretty, intelligent and independent woman living on her own with a career in the 1970s, when I would have been an early teenager. I don’t think I knew at the time, or at least I don’t remember, the setting as being Minneapolis. But it is, and there on Nicolette Malle is a tribute statue to MTM, where I was able to toss up my hat. Dayton’s department store is no longer active, but there is an active “Dayton’s Project” of stories and photos remembering the classic department store.
