Ray's
I was supposed to have my first kiss at Eastgate and I chickened out
Pecanland didn't open until right after I moved but I went there in high school because I lived in El Dorado...I will always have a fond place in my heart for Twin Cities though...Piccadilly...the Oooh and Ahhh...good times, good times.

I also have a distinct memory of seeing An American Tale there. And they had the original "Punchout" video game with the green dude.

Enoch's was a decent place to have a beer. Orange Julius, forgot about that place in the old mall.
