A downright iconic shot via traffic sounds/Flickr. The photo’s (non-cardboard) subject says this was taken in the West Covina Fashion Plaza (now a Westfield) in 1987, but it looks like the Puente Hills Mall to me.
Here’s a bus promotion at Puente Hills Mall from 1984 (from a previous post). Note the Florsheim behind the tree. Also, in the first shot, you can make out a disco ball pillar in the background. I think those were too hip (insert KLOS bumper sticker graphic) for Fashion Plaza.

Yeah, I did a search for these stickers, and guess whose name popped up? Stay tuned for more…
