3752	Article	Lazlo	I've always loved malls, and still do. I remember enjoying spending time there as a young kid in the late '70s, and a teen in the '80s. Waldenbooks and B Dalton Books were a typical hangout for me. They are both gone now and are greatly missed. I remember going to Spencer gifts and getting Orange Julius drinks. As a young adult in the '90s, new stores began to appear: FYE, and coffee places like Starbucks and Barnies. I still love malls, and would hate to see them go. . . but as long as theyre around, I'll be a frequent visitor.		Feb 13, 2017
3764	Article	Lazlo	My first job in high school was as a cashier/stockperson at Eckerd Drugs. This was back in 1986. Eckerds has since been taken over by CVS, so it too is a relic of an earlier era (before working there, I remember going there with my family as a very young kid in the '70s). Those were the days. I do remember ringing up candy, cosmetics, cigarettes, meds of different sorts. One thing we didn't have was an ice cream counter though . . . interesting cylindrical look to that ice cream scoop!!

3769	Article	Lazlo	The '80s was that quirky time that featured both "Endless Love" and "Bizarre Love Triangle." I remember them fondly. Very cool fact about Chrissie Hynde singing on U2's "Pride in the Name of Love."	Top 80 Songs from the 80s with LOVE in the Title	Feb 21, 2017
3805	Article	Lazlo	Thanks, OldSchool80s. Its really all about Rock, and it could have been about U2, or Led Zeppelin, or the Police, or the Talking Heads, or the Rolling Stones, or the Beatles. It was (and still is) a great form of music, and the Rock era was a great time to be young.	Still Rock and Roll To Me	Mar 29, 2017
3809	Article	Lazlo	I love '60s music!! As an '80s kid, while I loved my own era's music, I also often found myself nostalgic for the particular style and creativity of the '60s. And I wasn't alone, because '60s nostalgia was very big back then. About a year ago, I got to see Peter Noone, of Herman's Hermits performing at Epcot in Orlando, Florida, and he will be performing there soon again. Great concert!	Salute to the '60s	Mar 29, 2017
3831	Article	Lazlo	Thanks OldSchool80s. Its a pleasure to keep '80s memories alive.	All Those Years Ago	Apr 11, 2017
3845	Article	Lazlo	Vaporman87- I remember I spent a large part of that day listening to the concert over the radio, until the television networks started coverage during the evening. To me, it was an important event for our generation. A very memorable '80s event.	Remembering Live Aid (1985)	Apr 23, 2017
3877	Article	Lazlo	I think it was an important moment, if you were like me growing up (and as an adult). I was the bookworm who spent a lot of time at the library, with an interest in nerdy stuff like history. I think these '80s nerd flicks, as campy and comical as they are on the surface, actually had a deeper message. It was about appreciating being nerdy and being into knowledge, and not being ashamed of it . . . and having fun with it too. Real Genius is still one of my fave flicks.

3881	Article	Lazlo	echidna64- Now everybody is at least part nerd, because everybody (or just about) is into computers. Some because they enjoy using computers. And some because computers are everywhere and have no choice! LOL	The 1980s: When Nerds Became Cool	May 06, 2017
3920	Article	Lazlo	I am a great fan of "The Breakfast Club" and John Hughes, and feel so blessed to have had both as part of my teen years. I think you have some insightful comments about BK. It was indeed about five teens, who could have been teens from almost any American high school, breaking through the stereotypes and discovering each other as real individuals. Its a protest against the clique system. And its full of these revealing moments: when Bender talks about his apparently abusive parents, when the Andrew (the jock) reveals a cruel prank he played on another student and draws a response from Brian (the nerd), when Allison (however awkardly) gradually reveals more of herself as the movie progresses. Really, the film is a breakthrough movie, and deserves a lot more credit that it sometimes gets.	The Breakfast Club and Changing Perceptions	Jun 08, 2017
