Everyone omits the last word from "Park City Center" too, but then, we also have our own, special pronunciation of "Lancaster", and the Weis Markets folks will have you believe their name has more to do with owls than color, so perhaps we're not to be trusted on anything language related.

In fact it is an annoyance of mine when I hear directions given by KOP merchants. The buildings are a short walk away from each other but both are huge and include acres of parking. You could park at the "Mall", walk inside, and still be quite a hike away from the store you want.
