Joske's was awesome!
I remember Joske's.I think they are opening up the time capsule today.
North Star Mall was a magical place for many people when it opened in San Antonio on Sept. 23, 1960. It had 50 stores in a single spot, plenty of free parking and air conditioning in what was reputed to be just the third enclosed shopping center in the nation.

that old pic is what south park mall looks like
but with less obesity
^^ and more white folk?
that too
That looks like it was taken on Sunday afternoon right after they all finished eating at the Lubys.
Other than Lubys, I wonder what store actually has made it there the longest.
I don't remember that Western Auto. I do remember the Walgreens that took it's spot.
I remember the t-Rex roaming that mall.
Ahhh...I see the Texas Liquors sign...those were the days...If you were 18 you could legally walk in and buy a pistol, ammo, and a half gallon of Tequila all in one stop.
I remember the Walgreen's and the movie theaters near where Dillard's is now. I saw Grease there, about 13 times.
And right next to the Texas Liquors was the "Toybox"...pretty much the only real toy store in town besides the 5 and Dime stores.
I remember a few years back they made a big deal on the news about a book store opening in South Park Mall. What does that say about the south side that a book store is news worthy?
Even worse, it closed for lack of business.I remember a few years back they made a big deal on the news about a book store opening in South Park Mall. What does that say about the south side that a book store is news worthy?
The same books they put there on opening day are still thereI remember a few years back they made a big deal on the news about a book store opening in South Park Mall. What does that say about the south side that a book store is news worthy?

In other words, back when people were treated like adults...
in the 1970s, I bought all my concert tickets at the Record Hole that was there.
Did you ever camp out for tickets @ Joske's?My brothers did all the time and usually got 1st row.
no camp out needed, I had a buddy working at Record Hole, who always held back some good tickets for me & my friends...
never had first row, but had several 2nd & 3rd row concerts - UFO, Triumph, and a couple of others I think.
That's what it was called, Record Hole? I don't remember that.
after S.W. opened, I started spending all my money there instead of record hole.
So, what was in the time capsule?
God damn you people are old!
You'll be old some day.
I always wondered how much older I am then judy... not much I bet.
