Welcome to the largest mall and retail history site on the internet. The MALL HALL OF FAME is a vintage shopping mall scrapbook. Its focus is on shopping complexes built -in the USA- between 1946 and 1979. Don't forget to visit our four Shopping Mall Memory Lanes, which transport you through time to a mall in 1956, 1963, 1970 and 1977!

Your final THE MALL stop finds you in front of the "space age" Atomic Lanes bowling alley in its parking lot. Inside is the Tiki Terrace, a Polynesian-themed cocktail lounge. These South Seas-motif bars became the rage when GIs returned home after fighting in the Pacific Theater during WW II. There's even "exotica" music and a TV show called "Hawaiian Eye" to cash in on the fad.


The Tiki Terrace has special prices on mixed drinks every night. The latest Polynesian-theme potables are the Mai Tai and Zombie.
