WAVY Archive: 1978 Christmas Returns - Military Circle Mall

We take a look back in the WAVY Archives

I think what I miss most about the malls are the people. They were so alive back in the day: there were voices, music, and life. And the water fountains, lights, seasonal decorations, happy colors. Always something happening at the mall.

LOL. Sorry but I prefer online shopping and returns. Shopping in person was a big waste of time. Glad those days are OVER

Find that baby, she's 42 now. How crazy is that 😥

[@sammyspaniel6054]

That little baby will be celebrating her 50th soon.

Can someone who was around tell me how the hotel beside the mall was. I don't understand why they never fixed it and reopened it.

@@RazorFoxDV Yep despite what they were saying all last year!

[@teresaschneider6726]

I think everything would be better. Closing the shopping center on Sundays. Because of stupid Blue Laws. I ive there in 1986. I moved away. I hope they got rid of the Blue Laws. Anyone please tell me what you think? Everyone have a nice day.

[@chrisphares4772]

That was Pat Robertson who initiated the Blue Laws.
