I remember Vallco Mall when I was little as it gone through renovations over the years as the mall had the AMC as Vallco Fashion Park was changed to Cupertino Square since 2007 and change the name to Vallco Shopping Mall as this mall was dying due to the big mall Westfield Valley Fair is the king of the Santa Clara mall.

Things seemed more permanent back then. There were old nostalgic buildings everywhere. Now most things are demolished for new and more profitable construction.

Wow!!! There's that little hole in the wall porn shop!!!.....and the pawn shops!! Shiny shiny shiny!!!....I was 11 years old..... everything is gone🥺🥺

Notice there's no POELPLE over weight 😮 none I loved L.A way back when, we had an awesome time there growing up, I lived 30 minutes to the east but we we're always going to L.A Alvera Street to eat 😋😋😋😍🥰

That view @ 5:24, looking north on Wolfe Ave towards the freeway overpass. Long before the build up. Back when a few orchards still dotted the landscape. Thanks for posting. Really enjoyed the trip!

YOU CANT DO THIS ANYMORE hey think your videotaping kids

Amazing footage! I loved frequenting this mall in my teen years when it was already considered a dead mall. I was feeling very nostalgic about it since it was torn down. Thanks for this little trip to the past!

Thanks for posting my childhood play ground.

When you were traveling on 280 in San Jose and then took Highway 17 you went south on it. On the video you labeled it as north but that's wrong!

Ken what month in 1980 was this from .??

I was 10. Yrs old at this time

Back in time where people werent wearing masks and be true themselves God why didnt i lived in 80-ties can someone please builld time machine to send us all there

Ok I remember Valco Mall as a kid in the 80's. Game Keeper was a neat looking store but as a kid I thought it sucked and was mostly like board games for older people, no video games or anything cool. Howard's Shoes for Children, if you went to private school this is where you bought your shoes because you had to for dress code. If you bought your "regular" shoes as a kid there you were a dork because they did not carry Nikes or anything "cool". Wolfe Street Cafe had mediocre to subpar buffet, only thing neat was watching the cars drive under you as part of the "sky Bridge" over Wolfe road. I do remember it was a "smoking mall" and the ashtrays had sand in them, I got yelled at by my grandpa for trying to play with the sand in the ash tray.

Going back to a normal society people not addicted to their phones very few vagrants on the street in that time period people didn't tolerate it completely totally different city and country that we live in today.

Looks about 1983-84... Maybe 85. By vehicles...

@2:43 Ted Bundys VW Bug! Lol

Woah i didn’t know there were no railings between the people and the cars back in the 80’s,it’s so interesting how different at that time compared to today!

Женщины как женщины

Well dressed people

DEMOCRATS SOLD USA TO 🇨🇳

Earnest Borgnine served in the Pacific in WW2.He didn't just play ,he was the real deal.

Refreshing to see that hunchback electronic screen disease (smartphones) had not hit at this time. People actually engaging with each other and their environment rather than staring at and interacting with little screens.

One - Adam 12 ,,,see the man

Give me a time machine!! I’m not saying times were easier, but at least there wasn’t A LOT OF CONFUSION like in today’s world.

Back when Tokyo Sukiyaki /Fishermans Wharf was open and very authentic.

Wow.....No homeless tents, shopping carts, drugged out, mentally needed folks, etc. cardboard cut out sleeping bags around....wow.......if they only knew what a shittt hold many parts of LA became 40 yrs later.........and back then , 1980, at 10 yrs old we thought the Jetson's cartoons would be life in 40 yrs

These were simpler and better times.✨

Not a tent in site, yet 2Xs the homicides. 1980 was LAs 2nd most violent year in the city’s history, over 1000 murders.

WONDER LITTLE TOKIO

Reminds me of when my family moved to San Jose in 83 from Portland things have sure changed in CA

The 80's was a time where you can raise a family in San Francisco, now people are moving out of $6000/month apartments to live out of state (COVID-19).

Ahh ! The airport ! You going to hop off a bus- run to your airline ticket counter- give them your ticket ( stamp stamp stamp ) run to the waiting room ticket person ( stamp ) And run on the plane and get your seat ! 15 minutes 👀

We were there in 1981 and already most of those Big Cars from the 70's were absent from the roads of LA. Replaced by smaller Japanese and other compact cars. The biggest hire car we could get, was the Ford Granada. Which in the US was a mid sized car and not really enough boot (Trunk) space for all our luggage. We are from the UK. Enjoyed LA though, and driving thru the Mojave desert. The weather was to die for. Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon unforgettable.

Azuma is still in business to this day

SOKO Hardware is in ops

Wow it looks so similar in 2020

2:40 The South San Francisco sign on the hillside is visible from my house. In 1980 we visited SF now and then, nice to see how it looked. 3:36 Aw, it kills me to see Candlestick Park. All gone now. Sure it was a windy old wreck, but it was OUR windy old wreck.

Wow! That was amazing to watch. Japantown looks almost the same today in 2020. Soko Hardware at 5:12 looks exactly the same! I remember San Francisco in the 80s. Seems so different yet there are parts that somewhat stood still through time (Japantown and parts of Chinatown). That PanAm airline sign in the window in Japantown was awesome. Life was chill back then. Lastly, the white pants! Reminds me of my grandpa, and was the thing to wear back in those days. (Fun Fact: The Peace Pagoda at 5:16 was designed by Yoshiro Taniguchi)

I didn't know game keeper was there in 1980!!

Most of those people are dead now. It's been 40 years already.

San Francisco seemed so much better back in the 1980s.

That the first hand held VHS recorder 1988.

100th comment

I was a 9-year-old girl. Woolworth was still around. "Charlie's Angels," finished its 4th season. "The Dukes of Hazzard," finished its 2nd season. Team USA boycotted the Summer Olympics in Moscow. Wow! What a time!

San Jose was still nice then.

Well, what mall was this?

Wow, nostalgic! That must be terminal D in SFO; now is part of Alaska airline terminal!
