Send us a textLet's go back to the mall!In Episode 173 we are traveling back inside the hallowed halls of the indoor shopping mall.  Back in Episode 129, we looked at some of the popular, beloved, and maybe some lesser-known mall stores that attracted customers, or perhaps at least hordes of wandering mall rats during the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Well, now we're back for Part 2! A visit to the mall was always a special and exciting time back in the day. Although the indoor mall is still a popular destination today, its heyday was definitely the '70s through the '90s.You didn't need much money as the 'mall rat' identity only required you to be inside a mall hanging out with friends. Kids of the day could spend hours sitting on benches or wandering the corridors looking into some of the stores that will be mentioned this week.How many of these stores did you spend hard-earned money at?If you think any of your favorites have been left out, listen to Episode 129, maybe they're over there!For more great content become a subscriber on Patreon!Helpful Links from this EpisodeThe Lady of the Dunes.comPurchase My New Book Cape Cod Beyond the Beach!In My Footsteps: A Cape Cod Travel Guide(2nd Edition)Hooked By Kiwi - Etsy.comDJ Williams MusicKeeKee's Cape Cod KitchenChristopher Setterlund.comCape Cod Living - Zazzle StoreSubscribe on YouTube!Initial Impressions 2.0 BlogUPDATE: Bonnie Bickwit and Mitchel Weiser Case - Rolling Stone.comWebcam Weekly Wrapup PodcastCape Cod 1929 PodcastListen to Episode 172 hereSupport the show

Some of the most hated video games ever.The Holiday season is upon us and the podcast has some fun nostalgia gift-wrapped for you.Episode 172 kicks off with a look back at the beginnings of home shopping. From its accidental roots to becoming a staple of the 1980s home shopping redefined consumer spending habits. Today everything is 'smart.' Smartphones, smart watches, smart devices that control every aspect of your home. However, as we go way Back In the Day there had to be a first. We are going to look back at the original smart toy. 2-XL was an educational robot that made its debut in the late 1970s. How did it change the world? There are plenty of video games that end up being unpopular. It takes a special kind of failure for a game to be downright hated. A new Top 5 is going to look at some of the most hated video games ever made. Whether unfinished, too difficult, or unbelievably offensive, there are no winners here. A brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule will look back at the dawning of the California Gold Rush and how it changed America.For more great content become a subscriber on Patreon!Helpful Links from this EpisodeThe Lady of the Dunes.comPurchase My New Book Cape Cod Beyond the Beach!In My Footsteps: A Cape Cod Travel Guide(2nd Edition)Hooked By Kiwi - Etsy.comDJ Williams MusicKeeKee's Cape Cod KitchenChristopher Setterlund.comCape Cod Living - Zazzle StoreSubscribe on YouTube!Initial Impressions 2.0 BlogUPDATE: Bonnie Bickwit and Mitchel Weiser Case - Rolling Stone.comWebcam Weekly Wrapup PodcastCape Cod 1929 PodcastListen to Episode 171 hereSupport the show
