I grew up in Riverside, CA during the ‘50s & ‘60s. A few tears back, I ran across two photos of a shopping center that we frequented regularly…there’s even a chance that we were there when these photos were taken.

The Hillside Mall outside Chicago looked a lot like the second photo. Then they decided to enclose it like other malls nearby. Then it closed.

That sign looks like a sci-fi movie robot monster from "War of the Worlds".

What's a mall???

This is how we shopped in the 50's! Not for the faint of heart.

All I know is answering your morning doorbell in your underwear can harm your reputation in the neighborhood.
