I was just talking about this with my mom. The toy store was Playworld. Then it became a flea market. I remember Mays, but Im older. I remember the South Gate condo when they were a shopping center. I also remember Korvettes in the Sunrise Mall. Woolworths too! Jordache Jeans, the tighter the better. Sweet Honesty

I remember the store B. Altmans - where I got my prom dress.

I also remember when the Americana Mall in Manhasset had a JJ Newberry store and a movie theater where I sat for three hours in complete boredom watching "Chariots of Fire."
