Wow... I was only 3 when this was filmed! I miss Emerald Sq Mall. It was a great place with many fond memories. It's sad to see the state it's in now... :(
Went to that mall a couple times. I lived closer to silver city Galeria. Drove by silver city years ago when they were tearing it down, was sad to see.
I remember going as an 11 year old boy in 1989 and seei g that Wizard of Oz picture. I remember they had a small screening room behind it or near it where they were screening the wizard of Oz
That is definitely a Babbage's store at 3:07 that was their classic monitor setup at the front of the store. So many memories seeing video games for the first time on those monitors. Holyoke Mall had a Babbage's too
I applied for my first job at Babbage in Holyoke in 1989. THey wouldn't hire me because my hair was too long. It kind of was. Fast forward 20 years and I retired at 40 from the tech industry while they're long out of business. I'm not bitter... well, maybe a little ;)
No SUV's in the parking lot, and the shorts on men were higher. Also, I saw one guy at the end of the video near CVS having a butt. Wow, has times changed. Although, I'd love to go back to the days when America was a great country.

@@weebercorey they didn’t go out of business, they rebranded as GameStop
Not much has changed.
Was there in September 1992. Only three years after it was built.
Letchmere (Store at 2:13)
The mall is aging pretty well
Food court is dying
This mall has one foot in the grave
