The place in the Oakdale Mall that used to sell the chocolate coated ice cream bars.

 

The magazine shop that used to be in the Mall.

 

The fountain in the Mall.

 

Villa Pizza

 

Philadelphia Sales (I miss the popcorn smell when you first walked in and the wavy floors)

I really enjoyed reading your post. I think you and I hung out in the same circles. Thanks for bringing back the memories!

I remember going to the Mall with my grandmother when I was a kid. I could never leave without getting one of those ice cream bars, or a drink from Orange Julius :rolleyes:

I have been cracking up and reminiscing reading this entire thread...

I remember so many of these places...I used to line up for Schnapp's at Lilliana's!! Bourbon street was a fun bar!!

I bought cigs at Salvation Outlet...at age 12!!

I worked the concession stand at the Airport Drive In and at Cinema Endicott...where Rite Aid is now...

I used to LOVE the 5 and dime store in Union...owned by Laskowski's, and Steadman Antique's next door...

I remember getting Shirley Temple's at Copperfield's in the mall...

Elk's Bakery had the BEST white cupcakes!

Burt's on the Ave used to have a candy shop called Swiss Colony...I used to walk over there at lunch time from U-E and takte the beef log and cheese samples. And they used to have this AWESOME selection of hard candies that were flavored like mixed cocktails...like Whiskey Sour (my fav), Manhattan, rum & Coke, Pina Colada, Strawberry Daquiri...those were SOOOO yummy!!...except my teachers thought I was going out and getting loaded on my lunch break...LOL!!!

Oh my god, I remember $10 car load nights at the drive in. I was a senior in high school and my grandparents had given me their old Cadillac. I think we got like 12 people in that car one night, including 2 in the trunk!! And Copperfield's!!! I went there on one of my first "real" dates in high school. :lol: And just for you McNail: http://www.swisscolony.com/home.jsp

I don't remember that the Little Venice was across from the theaters. It was one owned by Bob Crockenburg but I can't remember the name.
