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!

THE thing today is Bossa Nova. This craze exploded on the American scene last year, with Stan Getz and Charlie Byrd's "Desafinado" ["day-zaf-uh-nah-doh"]. The LP record "Jazz Samba" was a big hit. It was followed by "Jazz Samba Encore!" These albums are available -here at National Record Mart- as monophonic "Hi-Fi" or "360 Sound" stereo LPs.
