Sorry to be Mr. Nostalgia here, but like I said I have a photographic memory.
When I was a kid, we called it the "Viewmont HALL." It wasn't even 2 hallways, it was one...you could walk from one end to the other in less than a minute. There was no food court....Roma's Pizza and Orange Julius was all there was to eat.

I remember it was a big deal to go down to the Wyoming Valley Mall, which was much bigger. Plus, Wilkes-Barre had Toys R Us, and Scranton didn't at the time.

39 cent hot dogs and video games. Those were the days.

I wish Top Dog was still around....a much cheaper alternative to Chuck E. Cheese. And I liked Top Dog hot dogs better than Chuck E. Cheese's lousy overpriced pizza.

Yes. Most on this forum (weluvpa, FightinPhils, NYRangers2008, etc.) are in their mid-30s.
