Mixtape #1: Classic Mall Stores of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s(7-23-2025)
Grab your portable tape deck. Make sure it has fresh batteries, and pop in this mixtape!
It's something new this week on the podcast: the first mixtape. We are bringing multiple segments from past shows together in one super-sized episode. Every now and then, these will appear as a change of pace from the typical show.
Mixtape #1 is all about classic mall stores of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. In total, there are 30 stores that we will take a look back at.
The indoor mall is still a popular destination today; however, its heyday was definitely the '70s through the '90s.
You didn't need much money, as the 'mall rat' identity only required you to be inside a mall hanging out with friends. Kids of the day could spend hours sitting on benches or wandering the corridors, looking into some of the stores that will be mentioned on this show.
How many of these stores did you spend hard-earned money at?
