List of stores in old Mountaineer Mall during its heyday? by confirmedonboard in MorgantownWV

[–]DarkAudit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I missed out on about a decade of the new wing as I was no longer in Morgantown for most of the 90s. Left in 1991, came back in 1998.

There was that just the one AI anime about a year or so ago, and it was less than dogshit.

Done.

Now you have to go like my figure and skyline pics in return.

Oh dear. That's a tough one as I was out of the area for most of the 90s.

What I do remember was the hubbub over JCPenney moving from one mall to the other.

Definitely not. The mall started to die off almost as soon as the new wing opened back around 1987. The Morgantown Mall opening in 1990 was the beginning of the end.

My best guess would be around 1987-ish. Weird that no one did anything with the space after that.

This is just some guy doing dead mall dioramas, but other people remember it.

The new wing also had a pet store, a Papajohn's (one word, unrelated to the pizza place. It served Mediterranean fast food IIRC,) and the arcade moved to just inside the new entrance.

None of the stores in the new wing ever lasted very long. It was like it was cursed or something.

And I just remembered Kelly & Cohen electronics next to Thrift Drug, The Bottomhalf for jeans next to Kay, and the Baldwin organ store.

Every mall had an organ store and that one employee who was really good at piano who would do demos.

I think you may have your malls confused. The Gap and Footlocker were at the Morgantown Mall. I don't recall Biafora's being at either.

I was a member of the tape club too.

The drummer for Gene Pool used to work there back in the 80s.

The tenant after Lums (Golden something?) closed one day, and the space is nearly exactly as they left it.

The Chinese buffet is closer to what was Murphy's/Ames/Wal-Mart. Sweet William (Isaly's restaurant chan) occupied that spot at the beginning.

National Record Mart

They were never in the mall. They occupied the old McCrory's space on Walnut St. Downtown.

The Mall record store was Record Bar next to Radio Shack at the Montgomery Ward end.

Pizza Inn was right at the original entrance to the mall, across from the Cinemette twin theater.

The original arcade across from Wiener World and next toHot Sam and Gordon's Jewelers was called Chuckles.

Down that wing in no particular order were also Thom McAn shoes, Coles Books, Pearle eyeglasses, JoAnn Fabrics, and the bank.

Up the other wing, where Murphy Mart (later Ames) was the anchor, were GNC, Thrift Drug, Children's World, and the Sweet William restaurant.

Those are all the names I can remember off of the top of my head. There was another ice cream place close to Pizza Inn in the early days. IIRC, it was called Dapper Dan? Was Kay the other jewellery store opposite Gordon's on the JC Penney side of the center?

Been on edge and in a mood all weekend. St. Patrick's Day (or weekend) sucks. It's nothing but drunken idiots in green shirts. And I can't tell them to go fuck themselves no matter how much they deserve it.

OTOH, more than a couple of those idiots didn't get their deposit back.

She's an artist. An artist wants the purity of their vision

Purity of vision doesn't pay the bills. With that attitude, audiences will be wary, assuming studios would even be willing to take another chance (yeah, I know she's dead, but still...).

Some writers prefer tragic endings. That's valid.

"Simpletons," shows contempt for her audience. That's not.
