PotLuck Saturday: The Mall Stores You Forgot About

Happy Pot Luck Saturday! Organ stores, three-cent book rentals, record-store experts, black lights, and Thomas Jefferson. Apparently, we’re not quite done with the mall. We talk about Wurlitzer organs, Waldenbooks, B. Dalton, Barnes & Noble, and the days when hanging around a bookstore was actually something people did. We talk Sam Goody, Musicland, Strawberries Records & Tapes, Newbury Comics, and the record-store guys who could hear one random lyric, flip through a bin, and know exactly what you were looking for. Plus, RadioShack, Circuit City, Egghead, walkie-talkies, police scanners, and the people who knew how all of it worked. We also talk Natural Wonders, the Discovery Channel Store, Warner Bros. Studio Store, Brookstone, Sharper Image, and Spencer Gifts… complete with the back room, purple lights, lava lamps and T-shirts. And, only on Pot Luck Saturday could Spencer Gifts be discussed in the same breath as John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. It’s a Pot Luck Saturday with mall memories, percussionists, the smell of Wicks ’N’ Sticks, and a few more nostalgic Pot Luck dishes we almost forgot to serve. We’ll Talk Shawty!
