Your Minutes of Zen

Geez man, it's hard to believe Christmas isn't that far off. Now mall Santas, wonder how long those will still be around. Three out of the four full-sized malls around me are on their last legs. Nobody really goes to malls much anymore. Not like the 80s and 90s.

Yes, a lot of people don't know how great Malls were and they should care to know. They were so fun. South County was so terrific. I had so many good times in the 90s & 2000s there...West County was good too but I didn't go there as much...now if only if only Crestwood would do the same...that mall was My fave of the three...there was so much there as I've said before. Great Garfield & Looney Tunes there.

KSDK Channel 5 just posted these videos for Thanksgiving. This is Lambert Airport, surely you know it This is THE air port to get to or leave St. Louis. Remember the story I said about in My WWF House Show in 91 about Road Warrior Animal This is THE same airport that lost his luggage thus had to wrestle in street clothes. He got it back eventually. Now watch the video for the current time



Here's these Thanksgiving Food Bank in Downtown St. Louis. Look as you see Bush Stadium in the background plus Schnucks Turkey




And this Thanksgiving Activities Video was just posted by Fox 2

I'm so glad we don't travel much for Thanksgiving though we will be driving to Niagara Falls Fri-Sun because my son has a hockey tournament there. It's supposed to snow but stay south of us <fingers crossed>. My wife's hospital group just did a Thanksgiving food drive. We donated 2 totes of food. There was a news report about it yesterday but I don't see it on youtube.

Yeah, people spend most time traveling to get to their Families & Friends then before you know it the Holiday is over Well be safe with your son Packer That's great for her, shame her time isn't on YT but maybe later How about that Thanksgiving Family Ties

I bet you didn't that that St. Louis had it's own Parades Have a very Happy & Safe Thanksgiving whether you celebrate it or not

[packerbacker180]

A shark float isn't something I would've expected on Thanksgiving. Maybe Bay Shark, lol.

[BrandonDaCollector]

How about that Cosby. Yeah, I didn't expect that either. Check this from the great year of 1995

[packerbacker180]

Woah, I never watched Brotherly Love but that was cool seeing a Wolverine costume.

[BrandonDaCollector]

Yes, I never did either. one of My very few YT guys from MO posted that recently. When I saw that thumbnail that caught Me eye right away Wow, all three of those videos were great. The second one was crazy Gosh I miss Kay-Bee Toys

I saw this last night. You saw about West County earlier, well here's a video of the inside during Black Friday. It looks decent and resembles how it used too. One of My most memorable moments there back in the early 90s when they had the talking WWF Hasbro figures from 90/91...



They had The Ultimate Warrior for years but he never talked so I never got him..I kinda regret that though because he did look good Anyway, here's the video I saw last night

[packerbacker180]

Yeah, Black Friday didn't look so bad this year. I didn't got to stores, but I drove past some and they didn't seem bad. I can't recall if I posted this Mary Tyler Moore vid before. I know I thought of doing, but don't think I did. It's considered a classic sitcom moment, maybe even the most iconic sitcom moment.

[BrandonDaCollector]

Yeah, My Mom & Me needed to go to Schnucks, Family Dollar & Dirt Cheap and I was like on Black Friday and she said they won't be busy because the people will be at places like Walmart & Target and she was right. I don't recall you posting that Mary Tyler Moore Okay, that's it for Me on this Topic, time to focus on the Christmas ones
