Joe's NeighborhoodA red ball mystery“Could I help you, hon?”I don’t know. But the book also mentions Merle Hay Mall, or, more correctly, the earlier incarnation of Merle Hay Mall:“ST. My girlfriend and I were working one day, and this little red ball went rolling past us. Pretty soon, the red ball came around in a circle and went around again. And since then, my girlfriend will see a little red ball just sitting somewhere in the store.”And there you have it.
