What is/was your favorite part of your local mall. My mall, Century III , was completely demolished recently. It

brought back memories of the walking club inside the mall, the stage where I got to see Three Dog Night and other groups for free, the variety of stores, anchor and smaller stores that were Mall stores.and the glass elevator. What was your favorite part or memory of Your Mall?

1. The ice skating rink. (Monroeville Mall). Loved watching people

of all ages skating. It was changed into a food court years ago. Now I read that WalMart bought it and the plans aren’t made public.

2. I read that too. The last time I was there was pre covid. I heard it was going downhill. I used to buy a hot dog and

watch people skate( I can't skate) Thank you livetohike. for sharing your memory with us.

3. Those from childhood are undoubtedly all gone. But I went to the opening of Colorado's Park Meadows Mall

--south of Denver. It is a large mall, but what stands out for me (and I haven't been there in years, as it is quite some distance from me now, but I'm guessing it hasn't totally changed) is the enormous fireplace (like a ski chalet) in the food court that faces a wall of windows. While a lot changed in the years since it opened, I remember security guards on horseback-- in uniforms almost like Canadian Mounties-- during that first opening period. It was really wonderful. But, of course so many of those anchoring stores are gone and even those chain stores as well. But, I'm betting that great fireplace is still there in the food court.

8. I've never liked malls

They’re too crowded and noisy for me. Besides, parking can be a hassle!

[debm55]

10. Thank you very much, PJMcK for sharing. I remember the parking lot too.

11. As a teenager my favorite locations at the mall were

The music stores like Musicland, On Cue and Sam Goody. I honestly don't remember all the names of the music stores as it was a long time ago.


I also liked the Merry-Go-Round clothing store.


And way, way, way before an autoimmune disorder reared it's ugly head, I loved enjoying Auntie Anne's in the food court.

12. Thank you very much, Niagara. I remember Auntie Annie's too
