No idea what's gonna happen to the property though. We have one too. It's been pretty much fully closed, except the Movie theater and a Von Maur store. All the other shops have been gone for years, used to have a Kohl's. Sears, Carson Pirie Scott, Penny's and all the other usual small shops you'd find in a mall. |

Quote HistoryI remember going to those as a kid. Sweet! I just checked, and the closest one is still in operation! Haven’t been there in years, but the last time I went, it was still the same thing; open only in the warmer months. Seemed to be all HS girls working Summer jobs, and yes, they were all on rollerskates or rollerblades (apparently, rollerskates have made a comeback with Zoomers. I guess rollerskates are trendy now, amongst a certain crowd, and rollerblades have fallen out of vogue. Don’t ask me why). |

 Attached FileMe with my dad just before leaving for church in the mid-70s. 1. There's a Meijer where the house once stood. 2. Dad has been dead for 20 years. 3. Mom (who took the picture) is in dementia care. 4. Those clothes. That change is good. Let's hope that look never returns.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SportsterGuy: Born in 1950 I have a much broader perspective of how far downhill this country has traveled. I understand change is inevitable but social rot is something else entirely especially when you have those to are actively workings towards it. Back in the late 50's and early 60's kids enjoyed a level of freedom quite unimaginable to people these days. Removing the freedom to fail and to expect consequences of your behavior has precipitated a lot of these negative changes. Earlier statement about Brave New World instead of 1984 was right were we are controlled by threat of losing conveniences instead of freedoms. |
