  • More footage from JC Penney in 1997 but this time from a different store and in a different state.
    Now we are at the Westland Mall in Hialeah, Florida and it's back to school time.
    Not much going on here, shots of various kids looking at shoes, a father with his 3 children shopping, etc...
    This video last around 4 minutes or so.

      People are still able to do that these days. The problem is that kids are very demanding and want super pricey stuff these days. Shoes is a great example.

I inherited one of my sister's old pair of Converse Chuck Taylors that she had from the early 90s. Original black and white color. I wore them when I was in first grade from what I remember. I thought I could become a basketball player from wearing them LOL! I mean hey, Converse were the choice of shoe back in the 50s to the 70s with basketball teams.

      Nothing was different. I worked at JCPenny for my first job and would have to clean out dressing rooms where people refused to bring out things they didn’t want or would find tons of tags ripped off of stolen merchandise. Kids would urinate in the dressing rooms and you had to constantly refold table items. Just because it was the 90s doesn’t mean it wasn’t just as chaotic at certain times of the day.
