Grab your velcro wallet, throw on that Benneton rugby and lace up those Sperrys. We are heading back to the mall with an all new introduction to one of our most popular episodes to date, “Orange Julius Wishes & Karmelkorn Dreams.” Other than the roller rink, was there a better place to hang out during our GenX childhoods than the mall in the 1970s and 1980s? Join us for our fun conversation all about our MALL MEMORIES! From Orange Julius (just WHAT is in that, really?) to Spencer’s Gifts (so terrifyingly naughty!) to the T-Shirt Shack (inhaaaale), to the coveted job at the mall movie theater — we cover it all, as well as share some great mall stories from our society members! C’mon, everybody!
