Around the ‘80s and ‘90s something amazing happened when it came to social gatherings, people stopped hanging out at their porches and basements and started hanging out at the shopping mall.
They gave a whole new meaning to weekend plans. Friendships were built in these walls, in the middle of food court scents and the music playing from the storefronts, the floors were filled and they loved it.
The shopping mall changed the everyday energy because there was something for everyone and hours passed and you didn’t get bored, that’s what made it the ultimate hangout spot of these years.
