I wore a Gap sweater in my high school year book photo. In 1990. And it looks current. We used to joke that Niagara Falls is always flowing and the people at The Gap are always folding. Our enjoyable mall route (which included Sharper Image, Spencer’s and Benetton) existed before cell phones. They’re should accept that they’re trapped in time and market accordingly. Do blue jeans really change? Be the solid constant that you are. Play the vinyl, old man!!

Haha, would be cool to see a mall with retro shops in it. Unfortunately, it seems shoppers are turning away from stores, and I’m not even sure nostalgia can stop that!
