You nailed it in spades. Time for the booty show, big boobs, big hair and Bermuda shorts and everybody smoked anywhere they wanted to. Lots of guy watching too because they wore pants that fit their bod instead of those baggy things they wear now. You certainly could tell the difference between guys and gals. Most women had longer hair before that but we who were 40 and over kept it well under control in a French twist or a BIG beehive. Only washed, combed and fixed it once a week and went to bed every night with it wrapped in toilet paper.
I know there had to be Black people at some of the malls but I don’t honestly ever remember hearing anyone speak anything but English until the mid ‘90’s - but we didn’t live on either coast so maybe that’s why.

You could be watching Bambi with 50 children in the audience and smoke all the way through the flick if you wanted. Nobody thought much of it in those days.I remember taking a flight from California to Texas in 1986 and smoking all they way there.

I’ll never forget those triangular signs! The mall was cross shaped with anchor stores on the ends- sears on one end, macys on another end, sterns on a third end(they tore that down to make an outdoor mall area) and a huge food court on the other end. Great upscale mall back in the day, unfortunately like most Long Island malls these days its now like a free slum babysitting center for hoodrat children.

You were obviously a smart kid - invite the neighbor girls to your birthday party. Nice to have as guests and they’ll eat way less of your cake than the guys in the neighborhood would.

I doubt anybody wanted to be Winger. Well except for this guy.....LOL!
To: 2ndDivisionVet
I don't know; people at the mall looked weird to me then and look weird to me now. Not sure I can tell which is which in many cases.
And in this case, I dress just like this guy now (but don't loiter around a deserted mall or any mall like that). Is there something dated about him? I wouldn't know.

I refuse to alter my walk when I am in a direct path of a zombie texting. Looking down at a gadget, in public, and walking should be a common sense no-no yet it is commonplace.
