    Such an easier time. I sure do miss my 80s Corpus Christi Texas. Pretty much all of the places shown here are long gone. I'm sad now.

    Wow that Pancho's shot brought back some memories. Pacman in the lobby before we left and a stroll over to the video store a few doors down afterwards.

    Memory lane. The Ayers Bowling lanes had that cool neon sign. And the mall was cool in its heyday

    I wanna go back. Go back. And do it all over. But I can’t go back I know. Eddie Money. That song jumps into my head as I watch this video. Just a simpler time back then. I loved the 80s Corpus Christi Texas. It was Rad and Fun. Now we are in the middle of a pandemic in 2020. It’s been an awful year filled with tragedies and death! I Love the80s!! Drop a thumbs up and comment if you would rather be there. And what was your favorite memory of the 80s.

      I was born in 1993, so sadly wasn't around for the 80s....but do have memories from the late 90s of Corpus Christi. I am sad Sunrise mall is closed to the public, because walking through it used to be my favorite thing ever, reminded me of when I was little.
      I am so jealous of people who knew the 80s! I remember the late 90s and early 2000s, I can only imagine the 80s were even better. Now life is so different!

      being born in 70, I got to grow up here in the 80's. We used to hit a putt putt golf place on SPID, think there was a giant orange dinosaur out front. I miss Old Mexico and Ship Ahoy. I bowled junior leagues at Ayers, and miss all the old bowling alleys. I also miss being young and not having to pay for ANYTHING, lol. Being grown up is overrated.
