Why does this remind me of Lenox Square Mall in ATL/ Buckhead area. It was open air, them enclosed and in 90's it got a second floor. Interesting story of two malls caddy corner in ATL Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza
What memories of 1970's, & my mothers favorite store. Two blocks from Fed·Mart (Sol Price of Fed·Mart / Price Club, the prelude to Sam Walton & Walmart/ Sam's Club) but that's another story of Retail History. I remember MacFrugals from ATL and the change over to Big Lot's. Is it just me, because I don't find that big saving now, comparing Pic-N-Svae vs Big Lot's Prices. I have found Big Lot's selling things more expense than regular retails stores. Right Now Hot wheels has a special 57 year edition hot-wheels, Big Lot's price $1.59 and H·E·B (grocery store) $1.18 just like the regular Hot Wheels. I enrolled in their repeat customer program , three purchase you get a $15 Purchase Credit. I only made two, I could never find anything I liked.
This was my favorite mall as a kid. There was a huge model train display, one of the best hobby stores, the rides, and a decent themed food court. I also saw the original Star Wars and Star Trek movies there.
I worked for Lancome in the Lazarus stores, I loved the down town store and the magic of the store windows. I sure wish we could go back in time and stay there 🙂
Right before they graded the land to start construction, I tried out my bow and arrows. Lost one of them. So, I've always said, somewhere under the mall is my arrow.
The Loves in Oceanside is now a mexican cantina and I love that the heart shaped sign is still in use. I hope that sign never gets torn down, feels like a local landmark. ❤
Have you looked at the very short-lived Mr. HOW Warehouse (HOW = Home Owners Warehouse) stores in Cincinnati in the 80s? They were owned by the Zimmermans of Service Merchandise where I was a manager. We helped train their employees and set up their systems. They had baskets of cricket clickers (little tin toys that clicked loud when you flexed them) and the idea was that you would pick one up as you entered the store and would click it if you needed assistance. Needless to say, EVERYONE was clicking them including kids. The floor sales and information people were on skates. Cool, but not practical. If I remember correctly, Mr. HOW died within a year or so. There were 4 of them that opened at the same time around Cincinnati. Love your channel. God bless! Jim
Brown was a character to say the least! We had a KRR in CNN Center in downtown Atlanta but it was one of the first to close during the chains fall. Ironically, Kenny is buried in Atlanta's Historic Oakland Cemetery

I grew up in Redondo Beach and West Hollywood as a kid in the 90s. South Bay Galleria and The Beverly Center were my malls. Please do one on The Beverly Center and Beverly Connection. Good memories :)
It actually was pretty good chicken. I liked it when it had a little bit of a char or singe to parts of it. I had to try it out after seeing it on the Seinfeld episode (1996).
Hi Eric, good video and good catalog. I am 64 years old. In my proximity, Baltimore, Washington and Annapolis area there where quite a few Radio Shack stores and two Lafayette stores, but no Olson stores that I can remember. There was an independent store in Baltimore called Baynesville Electronics, it's now closed. There was also a Heathkit store near by. Everything is going to the internet. Please reply. Dave...
@@EricCProductions76 Hi Eric, Internet sales items are NOT tangible, meaning they are not perceptible meaning that, you cannot try them on per se. In the mean time, I noticed that by the year 2000, most tool, hobby and equipment retailer(s) such as (Sears, Home Depot and Lowes and Circuit City), (just to name a few) started carrying less and less items and had fewer and fewer employees along with poor service. Please reply. Dave...
@@daveridgeway2639 you are correct about. Customer service is still a strong feature that can never be replaced. Its just that many companies are going away from that and with that, sales and quality continue to fall.
There used to be an anime store in the corner of the mall in the early 2000s to maybe 2010s. Don’t know what it was called but it was my favorite store there as a kid.
I live right outside of Pittsburgh and we still have Eat n park. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants. I even make their ranch at home! I am 42 now and have been going there since I was a teenager and I love it❤
Opened the year i was born and we grew up together, then westminister mall opened. Being closer and newer to my home made it my mall. What memories! By the way, "Old World" is located behind what was "Huntington Center" a mall in the firm of a German village with an area for Octoberfest and concerts. KROQ used to have dance parties there on Saturday nights during the 80's. It survived to this day.
