I remember the Shakey's Pizza that was near the A & P store.

I can still remember the taste of Shakey's Pizza. I loved it.

Allentown Mall

I remember as a kid waiting in line with my family to eat at the Chesapeake Bay Seafood house at Allentown Mall. The line went through the mall. That was crazy. I'd never do that now (my parents wouldn't either).

I had to stand with the family FOREVER waiting and I didn't eat seafood so I always had chicken. I did munch out on those hush puppies though.

I had personalized tags that said spdracr. I had them for 10-12 years and just got rid of them this year.

My mom gave me that nickname when I started driving.

Remember the 3/4 Tees with the colored sleeves and white body that you'd have iron-ons pressed on? Like unicorns and kitties?

YES!

How about the white 3/4 sleeve Tee with the rainbow? Arch going across the chest, and the rest down your arms? It could have been a Montgomery County thing. I can't find a pic on Google.

They used mucho cornmeal on the bottom of that pizza, and it was fun watching them make it, but even better eating it.

Thank goodness Pizza Slut is still around.

I remember those rainbow shirts, although I never owned one. I did have the 3/4 length sleeve jerseys though. My favorites was the blue sleeved one with Rick Springfield and a pink sleeved one I had made at Kings Dominion. I had my name put on it with pink velvet letters.

I remember little Jordache purses. There was a store in Iverson Mall that sold them in all kinds of colors. I had a purple one.

Jordache! That's a whole different thread. I never had the purse, but I had the jeans. They went so well with the 80's shirts. I knew I was forgetting something earlier. Thanks for prompting a dormant brain cell.

Oh yes...

NOTHING comes between me and my Calvin's.

What a controversy that was back then.
