the anticipation level reached every Saturday morning was off the charts. I think the weekly anticipation helped me prepare for corporate life where millions are made or lost in one decision. Still couldnt win a single bet on who was going to win the Wacky Races each week though.
My mom shopped at Lerners and we had chocolate malt shakes and cheeseburgers at Woolworths counter. I got my shoes at Thom McKan and holiday cards at the Card Cage. Birthday celebration at Ferrell’s. Anyone remember the Record shop and bookstores, Mr. Rag’s and Oaktree?? The fountains always smelled like chlorine and the planters were mostly filled with plastic flowers and tropical leaves. Everything was orange/ brown/ green and people kinda dressed up to go out in public. Sears was on one end of the mall while JCPenny was on the other. It was a long walk through the mall to find the best deals on underwear. The music takes me back to the good ole days. You know you are from this time if you still remember the smell of leaded gasoline in every car.
back in the days grocery shopping was a plesant experience
i miss those days...America was a wonderful place in these decades!!! liberal policies killed America
Not without a major credit card.
I ate Apple Jacks but I never caught up
"i hanker for a hunk of cheese" things that never left my head ))
I'm 39 I got to see the end of this mall when it was still good. in the early 90s. They just recently demolished paradise valley mall to... our childhoods get erased
A gulf of time over 50 years. Yet it's not so different from how we do it today, is it? A better, simpler time then. I was 5.
yes it WAS better back in those days
I was born august 1963. You?
February 1965
Why do I like Gerald
The girl who is interviewed at 9:35 -- 9:43 certainly looks like the actress who played Cindy in the first two movies. And I wouldn't be surprised if one of the three young men interviewed at 9:18 -- 9:34 was the actor who played Paul.
Priceless…
Anyone remember King Vitamin cereal?
Yep😂
When I was little, I loved Tang. Astronauts drank it! That was good enough for me.
I remember this one!
Great commercials
Bolingbrook was too far from the western suburbs so i was never able to visit. Unfortunately, it closed one year before I had a license and my first car ...a 1971 Cutlass Supreme
I had those tv magic cards! Lazy but effective magic ....assuming your audience hasn't also seen the commercial
This reminds me of the original "Dawn of The Dead." Haha!
I first visited this mall in 1972 with my parents when I was just 14. Every storefront was filled and it was busy with lots of people shopping. When I moved to Denver in 1981, it was still there but quite different. Even the remodel through the mid 1980’s couldn’t save it and bring back the crowds. I visited the mall before it closed and I believe the last store standing was Penney’s. Now it’s occupied by Walmart, some other big box stores and an apartment complex. So sad to watch it go from thriving to dead. 😔
Everyone commenting about no one is in their pajamas. Can anybody else remember women wearing hair rollers and petticoats out in public in the 60’s and 70’s. 😮
not many...and it was better than what we have now
