Mama Brava's was the shizzle. The long haired guy from Journey's was pretty cool and would always sell you some extra socks.

What was the popcorn place, had amazing Carmel popcorn. I was young, but thought it was down at one end or in a corner or something, anyone?

As a young tike, Kay-Bee Toys was my favorite.

As i got a little older i enjoyed babbages and the arcade.

Food - Hoppers. Their milk shakes and hot ham and cheese poboys were the best.

It is time to restore Cortana to its former glory.

How about Gadzooks? It was similar to Hot Topic and Spencer's, but from the mid-90's. We loved going in and reading all of the "raunchy" t-shirts.

My early memories of Cortana Mall usually revolve around Toys By Roy and then Space Port when it was the dark, narrow arcade next to Babbages and Things Remembered.

I seem to remember the mall having a more multi-level layout, with little step-down areas with a few kiosks throughout. Also remember a lot of fountains.

Definitely remember the O'Joy at Orange Bowl.

Also, how twice a year, they'd have the traveling antique and collectible show. It was like a travelling carnival but with over-priced nostalgia.
