river roads mall, jennings (a suburb of st louis), missouri, 1988

maybe u have noticed that old-ass-mall-photos has been having approximately one hot old mall photo per year starting with 1979 well now we are at 1988 and tbh we are going to stay at 1988 for a while b/c 1988 was one of the true years it was one of the years that was real and true and we are gonna have a lot of hot old malls to look at in 1988 especially ones which were already dated in 1988 like this cool 1960s-style woolworth’s which river roads mall attempt to freshen up using then-current river roads mall branding on the flags and on the trash cans especially check out the branding on the trash can which looks delightfully close to a pbs logo and i’m not even going to start in on how good food counters in department stores like the one visible here are they are so incredible and tbh probably merit their own side blog especially 1970s department store lunch counters
