The camera is kind of herky-jerky. But this brings back some memories of a young alajones wandering through that mall unsupervised. I remember when it opened.

I loved that place. My grandparents lived in Delhi and would take me out there to entertain me. They had a small amusement park with bumper cars and such. I also remember a comic book shop that I found some gems that I still have today worth a lot because of the Marvel Universe going silly with movies.

The daquari shop beside mcdonalds was the $h!t
It had a big bear that was carved out of a tree with a chain saw.
Ironically that video was shot on my birthday.

I spent a lot of time in this mall growing up in the 80's & during college in the early 90's. It wasn't bad at all then.

They had a baseball card shop in the food court that my 10 year old self thought was possibly the greatest place on Earth.

Edit: Cards, Coins, and Collectibles. It just came to me.

That’s a strange thumbnail to come across. I never heard of a corndog 7 in my life til I walked past one in the Laurel mall this weekend. I guess Central MS is still stuck a few decades behind

Didn't watch, just assuming my wife and/or BIL is in that video somewhere.

All existing malls passing certain minimal criteria should be placed on the historic registry and preserved. A damn shame how so many have died out.

That was my freshman year at NLU. Lived in Olin hall and had a blast. Drinking age was still 18 then.
