I was just a kid, but my mom and I loved to go just walk through the aisles since the place was so unique and beautiful. We especially loved the Through the Keyhole dollhouse store , and I remember many shows at the Kathy Burke's Marionette Theatre!

And the place where you could take a pottery class and they had a store for left handed people, that I thought was the coolest thing ever! My parents took us there every now and then and I have happy memories of exploring there.

Bill Waugh, who founded Taco Bueno, Crystal’s Pizza and Burger Street, died Tuesday in Dallas | Dallas Morning News

Who else remembers the old Crystal's on Inwood (it's Tupinamba's now)???

I mentioned this on another thread a few years back - my first time to NorthPark(1965) - I totally lost my car and was so sure that it had been stolen! A nice security guard help me find it. I had moved from Kansas City a short time before that - we never had anything like that back then in KC - so big and beautiful. I am glad it is still around - SO MUCH of the Dallas I knew back in the 60's - 70"s is gone!
