No, they always had food around the fountain, and a bit down toward erstwhile Hecht’s. In fact, I remember when that was Hochschild Kohn. I was just a tyke. They also had a Friendly’s downstairs that end, and Jade Palace for ages. Cannot remember where JP was, but never forget that circular jade green entranceway.
I miss the big sit-in McD’s. Can’t blame them for centralizing it, but miss the big MCD-only.
Oh geez, I forgot about Friendly’s! My grandmother always got a tuna boat and a Friendly cola, LOL! And Jade Palace is a vague memory, I know I never ate there but I seem to remember the green arch-like door (or windows?)
Did you ever go to Security Square mall — back when it was go-to-able? Sometimes I think I get my mall memories confused, but that’s where we would always go to the movies.
