This is driving me and DH crazy ... does anybody remember the name of the "smoke shop" that used to be in the back of Home Decor?

I don't think that's it ... It's on the tip of my tongue and driving me nuts!

Yeah I know! I thought I'd know it as soon as I heard it ..

Time Out was there, Import Alley. Spencer's. Trying to place it. Home Decor - I don't remember.

 

[NikitaZee]

I thought Home Decor was the name of the front part of the store .. with the wicker furniture and stuff like that. The shop in the back had all the feather clips, paraphernalia, rock t-shirts - maybe it didn't even have an official name, just kind of known by all of us who went there back in the day!

Now thats funny! I have a feeling we visited the back of that store too many times to remember the name.

I remember Ups and Downs. And tobacco place with the wooden Indian outside? Maybe the store front was called Pagoda Imports? Somebody texted DH asking him this bit of trivia, I wish he hadn't this is so distracting!

Some other mall trivia. When I worked there a group of security guys threw a party in the mall after hours(yep I went!) They got fired for that. I loved working at the mall.
