Sorry all, no toys or video games in this one...🥲
A simple one here, as it's been too long since that last upload:
- - At a mall - - In the late 80's - - Buying clothes
Some fun footage complete with a 'Gnarly soundtrack!
Shots of various customers looking at items and trying the products on in the store, etc.
This one last close to 9 minutes.

The songs were fresh back then…now they’re oldies.
I miss ladies with big, beautiful hair. Maybe still in Texas?
I lived that 9 minutes back in the 80s.
An 80s mall tour checking out the big hair and showing all the stores that no longer exist, maybe with a video arcade tour showing all the classic arcade and pinball machines might be a better video
I like the blond who thinks she’s Rod Stewart.
And eight gallons of hair spray
I knew the world would never be the same again, at least for girls...
Batch in 1999 inside a Walmart, I saw two teens, walking side-by-side, talking on their mobile phones... but...
they were talking to each other over the phones, while they were only 2 feet from each other.
Still happens today, but through texting.
If the world were to take away the smartphones from girls, they would all end up depressed and in need of meds.
>>And eight gallons of hair spray<<

“Ultra Clutch?”

The trans stuff now would never have occurred in the 80’s because back then everyone accepted androgyny.
These days if a boy likes the color pink he is immediately labelled a girl and registered for the “sausage” chopping machine
How bleeping boring. You should go back there now and get some video. You might even see a shooting. If there were some ICE buses parked outside there now, they’d be constantly loaded.
Much of the 80s sucked.
Forgot all about that. And they weren't even that expensive.
I think something happened with the aspect ratio when it was transferred to digital because everyone looks short and fat and I can assure you, that wasn’t the case.
Sorry, I lived in the 80’s and the only song that I recognized was the Steve Winwood thing at the end.
The last time I had to go to a mall was in 2016 for a phone, and I was really surprised by the elaborate food court.
“”””Much of the 80s sucked.””””
Camouflage, guns, mercenaries, Reagan, small wars everywhere with Russia and Reagan going at it, survivalists, a very close nuclear war period, international intrigue, and danger, the movie “Red Dawn” banned in parts of West Germany, Latin America in conflict between Reagan and Russia, Africa, Savimbi, Rhodesia, South Africa.
There was so much intensity going on in the 80s.
Now they play Van Halen in the supermarket.
And yet it was like a peaceful day soaking in the rays at the beach compared to 2023.
That wasn’t my perspective.
No tattoos, nose rings, guys in dresses, or people openly shoplifting. And not one single face mask.
Yeah, but it’s never anything from Fair Warning or anything good.. It’s usually Jump or nonsense from Diver Down.
That said, you know you’re old when the soundtrack of your youth accompanies a journey down the low carb snack aisle.
I heard Sting and Basia.
