It has so many stores, restaurants and many things to do there

I also like Palisades Mall, but that is in New York State (Near border of NJ)
Both are my favorites, although I think I prefer Palisade Center. I used to spend Sundays there sometimes and also Nyack Main St. shopping. Seems alot of antique shops have moved out though over the years. I miss them all! Nothing like that here in Fl.

I remember when GSP was still an OUTDOOR mall!
Me too! I did the windows for Canadians and Pants Place there with my sister. We also did both stores at Paramus Park. We did their window displays and interiors! Good old days! I remember the outdoor pretzel guy in the winter....OH! and Wolfies restaurant. Yikes...long time ago! How about Ohrbacks at the Bergen Mall? I even remember when there was a Roller Rink on 17 in Paramus! And Grand Way! Let here some more memories of stores gone by...Korvettes! Service Merchandise! Was next to Burlingtons on 17. Consumers was in Westwood!

I think that's Tice Corner. It is nice, but I can't go there on principal because I miss Tice Fams so much. LOL

OMG - Canadians ans Pants Place...you are taking me back to when I was young, cool & hip! LOL!

If it's a Sunday - I'm a Menlo Park gal. I like Woodbridge too. It's a drive for me, but I don't mind. I'm not really jazzed about Willowbrook.

I have heard Rockaway Mall is much nicer now, I may have to check that out one day.

Willowbrook Mall....did the windows there too for Pants Place and Canadians. That Mall was always too big for me. I spent alot of time shopping at PP (Paramus Park) was 5 min. from my house. Tice Farms....grew up in that area in Washington Twp. Also spent some years working at Merceds Benz there. I remember my parents taking me and my sisters to Tice's in the fall when we were little for cider and donuts and to pick out a pumkin. In the summer, baskets of peaches. And they had the best home made apple pies. Hey...remember the Dugan Man? He delivered milk, donuts. He would bring the tray of donuts to the front door! Now that is really going back! NJ was a great place to grow up, or at least it was back then. Yikes...good old Jersey!

As do I! And I much preferred it. Remember? It was Bambergers and some plant nursery! So much more manageable. )

I'm traveling the memory journey right along with you. And 'Two Guys from Harrison' and Modell's when it was a supermarket that brought the bags to the car (and not a sports store) and, more recently, Alexander's. )

Oh I can't tell you how many times I got lost in the clothing racks at the Two Guys in North Bergen! LOL! Then when I was a teen it was TSS Seedmans, which I never liked, but I used to go there and buy my "records" and "casettes" for my "Walkman" LOL

Not Ipod days.
