Happy 35th Birthday to Sangertown Square Mall!! What were you doing 35 years ago?

In 1980, we were wearing the Izod brand, playing with or collecting cabbage patch dolls, exercising with Jane Fonda and walking around with a cell phone that needed its own bag. We were watching the A-Team, Smurfs, and Dallas. Listening to Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen and Talking Heads on our Walkman. A crazed gunman murdered John Lennon and we were introduced to the Apple Computer.

Sangertown Square turns 35 this year. When they opened their doors in July of 1980 there were only 34 stores to shop at. Now Sangertown Square has over 70 with more on the way.

To celebrate 35 years of continued growth in New Hartford, Sangertown Square has unveiled a 50-foot wall display including various news articles and pictures throughout its 35 years of history.

Here are some fond memories from Sangertown Square Mall. We would love to hear about your memories in the comments below.
