I don't. I do remember that the McDonald's entrance was in the back, through the rear parking lot. I also remember there being hardly any parking spaces available because the mall was so busy.

Was part of Bon Marche's charm.

For real, though, you probably shouldn't have parked by the Twin.

I remember when Bon Marche was an open, L-shaped strip mall. Western Auto was at the end closest to Florida Blvd.

Member the mini mall that entered on the back side next to DH Holmes?

Member when the Bon Marche twin played the Disney classics throughout the year so kids could always see a decent movie?

Member the porters at the Piccadilly wore white jackets?

Oh well, it's an Amazon world now.

Bon Marche had the baseball card shop across from McDonald's. I was obsessed with that place as a kid.

That was a great place to browse while waiting for your parents to pick you up from the movies.

The haunted house was across from there.

My parents always preferred that mall. The movie theater was still open when I was a JR/Sr in HS but it had declined a lot. I remember going to Woolworths at the other back entrance.

The Disney stuff was during the day. I remember, not in any order, Ghost Busters, Porkys, Caddy Shack, the Jerk, and Stripes there as well, not to mention Star Wars umpteen times. The Broadmoor Twin had Smokey and the Bandit and Jaws, IIRC.
