I liked it better than cortana. Space port was cool but the gold mine was more fun to me.

Ah....the mall they turned into a technology park. I haven't been inside that mall since I went to see a movie there in 1998.

I remember going into the pet store as a kid then running across to McDonalds. I've got pictures with Santa from those days. Of course 2010 as a teen.

They had a decent software store there for a while around 1984 or so. Every time I went, it got a little worse. The mall turned the thermostats way up to save money. Pat Shingleton filmed his game show "We Play Baton Rouge" there.
