Its the newest craze!! Pantyhose for buildings! Ooo-la-la!!

The Forbidden Berries

AH Yes! I use to buy my comic books there.

It was a treat when we'd go to the Mall for my sister's piano lessons, Mom would stop at that corner shop & get us those Pina Colada smoothies, and if we begged enough, we'd get those cinnamon toothpicks too.

I was there last month. It's pitiful. The only cool thing is, the janitors & security guards now get to zoom around full speed on their Segways since there's no one to run into.

I remember when it was being built, it was gonna "revitalize the area". They were going to add a water park & go-kart track too!

Its still bigger than Highlands Mall was. Highlands Mall had 1 floor, in a T-Shaped mall. I remember laughing when it opened because they had a "You are here" sign at the entrance.... just in case you got lost, I guess. Fashion Bug, Waldenbooks, an Organ/Piano Store, an Arcade, Furniture store, Hallmark store, a GNC, a jewelry store, J&S Pizza (a staple around here) and I think a Radio Shack? Definitely showing my age with that one.

Now its a Walmart. I think there's still a sign for it off Exit 16 Northbound on 28?

Finally!! I'm not the only one who noticed!

I used to love going through Oakland to get home. Traffic was a breeze!! The best is when you're at the first red light starting on Forbes, because then you know you can speed up a tad at least till you reach Sennott Square building.

A girl I know mentioned something about Walmart having free or cheap (I forget which) emergency insulin for those in need.

I remember my parents took me there as a kid. I barely remember anything other than it was dark in there.

Few years back, if it was 4PM and I had to get to a client site out towards Monroeville, I would prefer to go up 28 and cross over. It was so much easier!!
