The first of the REMEMBER WHEN posts

To be a kind of way to archive items into my (failing) Memory Warehouse...

BULLOCK'S

Ah, it would be Buffy: The Vampire Slayer to throw out this single word and make me devolve into a mass of memories of hanging out at the mall in my youth.
And I swear, would anyone (not in my age group) even KNOW what Bullock's is/was?  :sigh:
Bullock's was devoured by Macy's, folks.

And speaking of shops-no-longer, remember The May Co. buying Robinson's to become the dreadful Robinsons*May?  :shudder:

Oh, and then there was I. Magnin - I think where... Hell.  It's been THAT long since I've been to Del Amo Mall (actually Del Amo Fashion Center but we never called it THAT) that I am not sure what is where anymore.

    I remember all of that too...and Buffums! and not just I Magnin, but J Magnin, right? and how about old town mall...or as ALWAYS I recall when things long gone come up: Marineland. Remember Marineland? we went to SB zoo and saw flamingos and that smell brought it all back. :)
