Valley Girl (1983)

Queen Martha Coolidge's delightful, quietly brilliant (and subversively feminist) spin on Romeo and Juliet is a swoonworthy romp through early 80s Los Angeles, which feels like one of the few teen comedies that seems to accurately capture the sweetness and banality of falling in love when you're young. Starring real-life lovers Deborah Foreman and Nicolas Cage (his first film under his now-famous stage name) and set to a never-topped alt pop soundtrack, when that iconic "I'll Stop the World and Melt With You" needle drop hits, it tugs directly on your heart strings.

Director: Martha Coolidge

Cinematographer: Frederick Elmes

Starring: Nicolas Cage, Deborah Foreman, Elizabeth Daily, Cameron Dye, Michael Bowen, Michelle Meyrink, Lee Purcell, Richard Sanders, Colleen Camp, and Frederic Forrest

22 Forgotten Mall Restaurants That No Longer Exist

After taking my nap in the afternoon I found it impossible to sleep at night. So I fell down the rabbit hole of watching these nostalgia videos.

Let's to the Mall: Teriyaki Chicken

I want some mall chinese food so bad. But the one near me is dead so I had to make it myself.

This took 30 minutes.

Boneless skinless chicken thighs seasoned with garlic, onion, s&p, ginger, umami seasoning.

Broccoli, water chestnuts, onion, garlic, ginger, green onions.

Minute rice.

Cook chicken 7 minutes per side. Set aside to rest (if the fond isn't burned, add a splash of water to loosen) add broccoli to steam. Add teriyaki sauce and slice chicken to the desired size. Add to skillet. Add water chestnuts. Stir and stir until well coated. Eat.

Let's kill Amazon and bring back the mall!!!

There is and never will be anything like spending a day at the mall. The kids today won't get that feeling and I'm so sad for them.

Christmas Shopping Then vs. Now: A Survival Guide to the Madness (and the Mouse Clicks)

🎄 Remember the days of packed malls, Cabbage Patch Kid stampedes, and elbowing for Tickle Me Elmo? Now it's just you and Amazon at 2 AM. Let’s laugh (and cry) about how Christmas shopping has changed! 🎁✨ Read more: #ChristmasShopping #Voguegenics

Ah, Christmas shopping—where nostalgia meets chaos, and the faint jingle of “Jingle Bells” battles for attention over screaming toddlers. Once upon a time, braving the holiday shopping crowds was a badge of honor, a test of stamina, and occasionally, a physical sport. Nowadays? It’s just you, Amazon, and a questionable Wi-Fi connection. Christmas Shopping Nostalgia Tickle Me Elmo and Cabbage…

TOTAL WASTE

Please Note-This blog is just a personal opinion based Blog and the statistic to be given is also a hypothetical one. If there is something that I may have not included in my post is unintentional.

Earlier times Shopping was quite interesting and at a particular departmental store or a local shop one would get approximately everything. Slowly many shops catering to different needs of consumers and their interests also popped up. By shopping I mean not only limited to groceries or household needs it can be everything or anything.

Then at upcoming times wholesale markets grew and gained some popularity due to the reasonable rates at which they provided some good stuff. Let us take an example of APMC Market Vashi. APMC's major role in encouraging farmers to sell their produces and stopped exploiting of farmers in anyway and also maintain fair trading practices. This is somehow first time anybody would have heard of Corporate social responsibility seen in markets.

After all the expansion of markets in all possible ways then later in 1999 the first Mall was opened in Delhi by Ansal Plaza and then crossroads and then seeing this many more malls started to open and a Mall Culture developed in India.

Slowly and steadily Malls started blossoming and housed many brands and with that provided some wholesome entertainment by including food courts, playing areas for children and many more things came into being and they are continuing which proves to be a boon.

This was history about malls. Now lets come to present and what is the scenario. At present I personally feel that these malls are somehow threat in matter of shopping at least. The big brands which are in malls and in any mall are a "TOTAL WASTE".

Let us take a hypothetical example of what I am trying to show. Let us take example of Infiniti Mall Malad. Now just Imagine that 3000 people visit the mall and out of them only 500 actually buy things from the mall. So they become Niche customers who come and buy. But what about those 2,500 people who have come and all that they do is window shopping and then go to food courts and chill. Its a loss and not a small Loss but averaging big loss. You can get the same thing outside at less rates like small scale shops then what is the use of having big brands in malls where large number of people actually avoid to do so.

This above hypothetical example with a statistic is just for an idea and explanation as to what I want to show. Otherwise the numbers of crowd going to mall is quite big and huge in numbers. Adding to this the example which I gave was given to me by a worker in a mall where I recently visited. Not mentioning Name of person and shop where he worked.

So Finally I am not blaming malls for anything but all I wished to write that If the shops specially the big branded ones want more people to come and purchase from them the shops need to take some serious steps in order to let more people buy from them otherwise all people will do is come to malls for entertainment purpose and window shop and the big brands will continue to suffer.
