    That puzzling sink in the middle of the mall might have been for getting water to water the plants that were once in those planters. Maybe. Perhaps. 😆

    I bet you that Relax-a-lator still works. You should always carry quarters on you so when you find those machines you can test them out. The machine was plugged in so i'd bet it works. It has you stand on that pad and probably vibrates to help relax your spine. That's why the instruction tell you that you have to stand a certain way, which affects your spine more. What a great find!

    This place reminds me a lot of the old Nassau Mall here in Long Island, on Hempstead Tpke. in Levittown. It's still there now, but it's mainly just a big BJs Wholesale nowadays,
    or Costco, with a few other stores nearby like Best Buy. (which is not doing well) The orig. Nassau Mall was just like this, an enclosed minimall with an anchor Pathmark
    supermarket, a pretty good pizza joint, hole in the wall, a great hobby store once upon a time, and a very good record store called Music Trends or whatever it was. I used to
    buy tons of albums from them and tapes in the 70s-80s. I bought my first tape copy of Pink Floyd The Wall there! And my first R.E.M. tapes.
    And the video arcade was next door. Also once had a Rickels Home Center (the precursor to Home Depot). It was a decent
    minimall if you didn't feel like trekking to the larger malls nearby.

      Yeah i bought all my music from "the Wall" which was a chain of music stores in our malls up here in Connecticut. Still have cassette tapes with their trademark "lifetime warranty" sticker on them.

    • @thiscorrosion900

      @@klwthe3rd The Wall was what became of the old Record World at least in NY. I miss Record World and The Wall because they had a vast selection, before Tower took over here. Of course Tower was even better. The Wall showed up around 1990 or so here on LI. Record World got bought up. We used to have TSS Shops also on LI which had Record World stores within them, as the music dept. So great. Great posters, too. Also tons of budget tapes! $3 a piece back then. I still have a few. I have a Marti Jones-Colour Me Gone A&M tape of her album with the band. Was like $2. lol

      @@thiscorrosion900 You are spot on about the time frame of 1990. I was a sophmore in high school in 1990 and also got my driver's license that same year. So would drive over to the mall to buy my music from "the Wall". I loved that store. They sold everything music related. I can't tell you how many cassette tapes i destroyed and their lifetime warranty replaced it for free. I would often leave them in my car during the summer time and they would warp. They never fought me on any replacements.

      @@klwthe3rd I don't recall getting any lifetime anything from the other stores! LOL I didn't get to shop at The Wall much until they finally folded. Mainly was at Tower or other places. Or the NYC stores. I used to lug around a few cassette carriers in some of my cars through the early 1990s. All my mix tapes.

      I was last in Tiffin Ohio in 1984. I remember hearing Madonna and Huey Lewis on the radio. I went to a public park / lake that allowed swimming. There were a lot of people there and lifeguards too. There was a floating platform in the center and a walking trail around the lake. The lake must not have been far from Tiffin. Do you know the name of the lake / park?

    The Modern Lovers "Government Center:
    You know, we have a lot of hard work to do today
    What might that be, Jonathan?
    Well we've got a lot, a lot of hard work today
    We gotta rock at the Government Center
    To make the secretaries feel better
    When they put the stamps on the letter
    They got a lot, a lot, a lot of great desks and chairs
    Now, at the Government Center
    Where they put the stamps on the letter
    And then they write it down in the ledger
    So we got to rock, rock, rock non-stop tonight
    Uh-huh, at the Government Center
    Where they put the stamps on the letter
    And then they write it down in the ledger
    We won't stop until we see secretaries smile
    And see some office boys jump up for joy
    We'll tell old Mr. Ahern: "Calm down a while
    Sir, that's the only way the Center is ever goin' to get better"
