@9:18 Edward DeBartolo Sr. is recognized for pioneering the concept, development, and expansion of the modern shopping mall. He is the father of former San Francisco 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo Jr. and the current owners, Denise DeBartolo-York and her son, Jed York.

I wonder where many of these people shown in this video are today? Here it is 2024 and I'd rather prices and things be like they were in 1981.

Wow! So this was the adult world of American consumerism while I was over a week old 😂! Yup, I was born November 16th, 1981.
To think that a few states away, just over a week away.....
Britney Spears was about to be born.❤

I remember gold triangle. Sorry it went out of business. Zayres was also a popular store in south Florida back then too. It ticked me off when Macy’s bought out Burdines. Americans had so much more leisure time and disposable income back then. This video shows how decimated our middle class had become because of monopolistic private equity firms.
