I loved the wonderfalls that you included at 6:17. I know they were featured at Dixie Square Mall but I didn't know if they ever went into any other mall or not.

My mother used to work at McCurdys in downtown Rochester. I used to got to Midtown all the time when i was little. So many nostalgic and surreal memories.

Wow...that blew my mind...not only was the 1950s - the 1980s the most prosperous era of our time. The music and the architecture went through a Renaissance as well. ....My screensaver is the picture of the Altamont Springs Mall........

Great video! I have shopped at the Foothills Fashion Mall (Fort Collins, CO) many times since the mid 1980s. It was a great mall.

Wow..Watching this collection play through was a sad, melancholy experience. Really bespeaks of a fading era, a time of great prosperity in post war America. We all took it for granted, but the shopping mall became an integral part of American life. Malls alre largely responsible for the erosion of Small town central business districts. Now, Walmart is doing the same thing to Malls.
The relentless tempo of the disco music aids in the sadness of this forgotten aspect of consumer culture

@MisterEsoteric - So you enjoyed the show? I hope you did. It makes me sad too. But better sad than forgotten.

@Dunes I'm glad you enjoyed it. I've realized that there is a cult following for vintage malls. I miss the great era of malls. I only got to enjoy it as far back as the 80s. I too miss Woolworths!!
