The early 1980s was the heyday of the shopping mall.

You could spend the entire day in one. Hang out in a bookstore, check out the gadgets at Radio Shack, Brookstones and Sharper Image. Get an Orange Julius. See a movie. Go bowling. Get a plate of Chinese food at the Food Court with a a cellophane wrapped egg roll. Buy a Journey cassette at Tape World.

You could even smoke in malls....

I remember. I even had a part-time job working in a mall department store in my college days. So did most of my friends. Malls were bustling with activity back then.
