Took this photo in 2019. The mall closed in 2021 I believe
I worked as a maintenance guy around 1986 or '87. Back then you could smoke in the mall and they had ashtrays inset in every trashcan lid. We used to go around with our bare hands and remove the cigarette butts. By today’s standards the thought seems insane.
I remember someone shot a bunch of soap into the fountain and it made bubbles ten feet high before someone turned off the pumps.
It’s eerie to see it like this and in Stranger Things.
