The Day After Christmas Shopping in 1978, 1980 and 1994

Hitting the malls the day after Christmas to hunt for bargains and return unwanted gifts--it's a time honored tradition. News 8 was with the crowds at Fashion Valley in 1978, 1980, and 1994. Cars, styles, and the mall itself has gone through many changes throughout the decades. Look closely and you'll see Robinson's, The Warner Brothers Store, and a Broadway bag.

And let me tell you - you open up the newspaper in 1980 looking for a USED CAR - SCHWING! A beautiful 1973 Dodge Dart in great shape for ...$500.00 / $700.00 ! Like CONSTANT flow of NICE cars that would last you 5 - 8 more years before they died. Maybe 10 years - easy !!

Returns used to be more complicated and often not even worth the trouble.

Back in the day when people were comfortable financially, they could laugh, joke around and actually afford to shop!
