Helena, Montana - 1980
Here's a nice little shot of the Capital Hill Mall (another new mall I haven't yet blogged here), during the holiday season in 1980.
I don't know much about this mall that I can add here, but just looking at the picture you can see there's a 4-B's Cafeteria on the left in this view (never heard of those myself), and a Hennessey's anchor store down near the end. Please do comment if you have any memories or info to share on this mall.

Is this a postcard? Because it looks more like a homemade shot.
ReplyDeleteThe photo of Capital Hill Mall is indeed homemade; I made it. I know a little about the earlier years of the mall, having spent a lot of time hanging out there during my high school days, but I haven't lived in Helena since 1972.
ReplyDeleteThere has lately been more than just talk about converting the mall into new headquarters for the Montana Historical Society:

I don't know the current status of this plan.
Well I dont know if this counts as a story, but in that mall was the first time that I got lost from my parents, back in 1980 I was a kid of 3 years old, that was a scary moment that I still remember.
