All the hobby shops, etc went out of business with the advent of the VCR. Families spent their hobby money on a VCRs and renting movies. Stereo/TV stores and Movie rentals replaced the hobby shops. I dreaded going to the mall because it was mostly clothing/department stores like Sears, JC Penné's, Monkey Wards, Rothchild's, etc.

Some have movie theaters, but since I've gotten my 65" TV and surround sound, haven't been to a theater in years. Think the last time I went was to see the 2nd Matrix movie. However I did ride my 10 speed 65 miles to see the first run of the first Star Trek movie while in college.
