I sure do miss Hills, especially the 25 cent bag of popcorn and the slushees right there at the entrance!! I still remember the last thing i bought from Hills. It was a 12-speed bike for $125.00. Ah, the good ol' days!!

Go to Hills, play with their displayed atari and Coleco Vision game consoles,watch michale jacksons thriller being displayed near the games, then head to the concession area play the arcade machine and eat a chili dog (which hills had the best!!) Loved going to Hills when I was young.

I always liked Hills (and Jamesway) because they weren't in my area, I would only see them when we traveled further south to the Jersey/Pennsylvania area. In New Hampshire we had Bradlees, Rich's, Caldor, Ames ,Kings, Zayre, and the old school K-Mart's (you all know what I mean). MAN do I miss the days of not a Walmart or Target in sight!!! Those old department stores made shopping MAGICAL! I go to malls these days, I strain to remember what the anchors used to be...hell even Filene's is gone..

When I worked at Hills they cut costs by not keeping our store adequately ventilated. An elderly woman who worked there died as a result. Wherever you are, Stephen Goldberger, I hope your crotch is crab-infested for eternity.
