These are a few shots from a Capital Mall car show in Jefferson City, MO, in 1987. Of course it’s the mall and not the cars I care about here. You can read the whole story at Neato Coolville.
I remember Musicland and Sam Goody, as well as a chain called Music Plus, and of course Tower Records, where I found all the good punk and post-punk imports.
Waldenbooks, the best mall book store in the ’80s. No Borders or Barnes & Noble yet. The best and biggest book store I remember was the Covina Book Store, which just happened to be down the street from California Comics. There was also a brilliant used book store in the area, where I first discovered comics, a whole pile of them for 10 cents each.
“Hey dad, can I go to the arcade? Please?”
“Don’t you want to look at all these cool old cars?”
“They’re just some old cars, dad. Can I have some quarters? Please?”
