I had to ask my boyfriend what it was called because I didn't remember either!

You would think after living there for 6 years and frequenting the mall almost every other week, I would have known what it was.

I fail.

I cannot belive anyone has not mentioned "Gizmo's" at the Westroads Mall. We used to take the MAT bus from Millard there back in Junior High.

Did you know Westroads had a Bong and Pipe store?
"Pipe Dream". We would run around the mall buy one hitters and get waisted "" at GIZMO'S. Ride the bumper cars buzzed.

Man. I'm so jealous of all you guys that were (presumably) teens in the 70s.
Seems like the late 70s would have been the raddest time to be a teenager.

I was a teen in the mid to late 80s. I know one thing, I sure as heck wouldn't want to be a teenager in today's world.

If this is facing the North/West corner of main area, then yes, this is where it was.
I don't remember all of the glass, though.

I lived in the WoodHaven subarbs (west O) in the early 80's and spent many time playing the arcades at WC Franks when it was in old millard and also the GoKart Ranch (144th & Industrial). Occasionally, I went to westroads and crossroads. Then after moving to Plattsmouth, it was the Southroads mall arcade with the occasional Moby Dick and Peony Park visits.
