Sometimes they set up a mini carnival outside the local mall — One of their many recent ways of trying to attract customers; half of the stores there have closed. Don’t worry, hip twenty-somethings, the American Eagle’s still open for biz.
I used to go there in my teens to buy an Orange Julius and play a few rounds at the arcade before gaming consoles evolved into the graphic powerhouses they are today. Remember Virtual Fighter? Oh, Pre-Playstation 2 Days, I laugh in your general direction.
The mall was always so crowded back then. A decade never seemed so long ago.
Man, I could really go for an Orange Julius right now…
