Today everything looks the same BOX SHAPED. Der Wienerschnitzel shaped as an a frame house so was House of Pancakes Jack in The Box had a giant box with Jack popping out as their sign and the entire building was boxed shaped (in a good way) and McDonalds of course the Golden Arches flanking left and right of the building. Old Towne Mall was unique...my mom took me there in the mid 70's to a great hobby store and in 1979 I drove one of my first dates to see Greece at the movie theater....These days are gone forever...oh let’s not forget Tail-o-The Pup and The Brown Derby's structures.

I remember wanting to buy makeup and perfume from these stores. I loved them. But I was very young. The prices were too high for our family. Going there was a special treat. I didn’t know that they lasted only til ‘88.

Anyone remembers Crazy Eddies? That was in the New York Area

I worked at the Glen Bernie and Lutherville MD stores. I loved being a sales associate..it was fun..I actually wanted to get my Tandy pin. However when I transitioned to Manager that sucked bad. 54 hrs a week with one day off one week 2 days off next week. Then your holidays were your time off. I added up all my hours and found out I was making 5 cents above min wage. I went ballistic. Riley (nice person) was our division manager. He said we work hard and we play hard. Well the play hard never came and said "see ya"!

Aah!!❤ I remember thier Halloween treat bags🦇🎃🦇 for kids in the late 70s. They would give out after a purchase. 🌭👍

Yeah. Ghost Town it was. 😬

Some of the best memories I have of my childhood were at the Columbus Ohio location.

I remember growing up in Southern California hamburger Hamlet was supposed to be the best burger that you could possibly have but somehow we could never go there or my parents just couldn't get me there

I try to avoid Bella Terra, The parking sucks and the stores aren't anything I will shop at.

Pizza D’Amore at the top of the stairs to the Janitor’s Closet and just outside The Broadway. I worked there when I was in high school. Best pizza ever‼️

I went there once with my daughter in the 80's.

I'm still employed at the ghost site. LOL

I worked at Sears Territoty. J. C. Penney still was on the (Amazon) East side. Actually, it's the Chicken Restaurant by the lakes.

I worked there. I still work on the site.

Paul Freiler's Historical Models and the carousel are what i remember about this mall and perhaps you could make a seperate video on Paul Freiler's Historical Models?

Yes I remember Old Town Mall used go to the movie theater over there back in the 1980s

Thank you so much! I totally forgot about this place. My mom used to take me and my sister there in the '70s.❤

Shasta was so very popular in the 1980s that my whole family had it for parties due to the I wanna pop, I wanna Shhhhasta" ad jingle.

We had woolco in Canada well into the mid 90s

Can you do the old form cash valley mall in Logan Utah

Also, ever heard of Twitty Burger? Created by Conway Twitty. I think the burger had a graham cracker crusted pineapple ring 😮

Here's an idea. Do You Remember Hydrox Cookies? Apparently there's a controversy about Nabisco and Sunshine brands.

Worked at ryans in college. Had a great time.

I’ve only ever seen godfathers at my local Huck’s gas station

Woolworth's fried chicken you could smell it all the way to Pete's hobby store 😆

I worked there for 14 years. They treated the employees like family and was a great company to work for. I miss Big Bear!

Where the theater was built was supposed to be the pad for a Bullock’s, but federated aborted that when they bought the Broadway.

I am so glad my dad would explore california and find all these off beat places. Moro Bay, Andersen's, Santa Claus Village. An off highway stand that sold nuts and fruits near Oceano and Nipomo. Pismo beach clam soup. Hearst Castle. Solvang Danish. Haven't been up there since my grand kids crew up. Thank you for the memories.

I’ve been to the Santa Nella location a couple times in the last six months and it seems kind of run down.

Damn, I remember going to Fedco in 1997 and having the hardest decision of my life as an 8-year-old either choosing Starox with super Nintendo or Kirby star Stacker for the game boy.

do a video on the mall's detached winn-dixie location

I recall eating there the first time in probably 1966 or 68. Eat there a couple of other times in the early 80’s. I recall my last meal there in 2009 on a return trip from LA. The soup seemed a bit bland and the service was awful. I like split pea soup and make multiple times a year.

Anybody remember Farrells Ice Cream Parlor? They also were in Michigan

Was 1 of our faves 😢

YEAH I REMEMBER THE RESTAURANT I WORKED AT THE ONE IN ALEXANDRIA VA ON RICHMOND HWY IN THE BEACON CENTER

My family would stop here on the way up to Pismo Beach where our grandfather lived. We usually ordered the 'Traveler's Special' from the menu which was a bowl of split pea soup and half a sandwich. In later years, I learned about a 'secret' entrance to an underground cave inside the restaurant. On a hot day, the cave was always cool and refreshing. This was where the proprietary Andersen's Cherry Wine was sold, and tastings were always available. I fell in love with this cherry wine after the first taste. After I got married, my new wife also loved the wine and her very first taste of split pea soup! Retail grocery stores used to carry several varieties of canned Andersen's Split Pea Soup. I wonder if they still do. Hmmm.........

I last went there 30 some years ago. Shame it closed recently

Never seen one in my life. So I can't say that I ever shopped at one.

I still haven’t forgotten that you didn’t hardly see an ugly cashier at Delchamps!

By chance do you have a copy of a commercial that had a kid doing a burn out going into Rays dressed like Richard and saying “if it’s good enough for Richard Petty it’s good enough for me”?

Thank you for doing my request. I’m very late, so I hope you see this comment. (This is my new account)

It's still closed for so called renovations since January of 2024. No idea if it will ever open again. I see no progress.

I remember the locations on Sepulveda in LA, Hollywood Blvd and Sunset Blvd. I got real sick from one of them though. 😕

@eric how do I get in touch with you?

They made fun of how hamburger Hamlet was outdated on the show entourage
