Everyone is in good shape, happy, dressed nicely, not staring into their phones like zombies, etc. It was such a great time to live in. If only I had a DeLorean...
I know what you exactly mean ! Every retail was unique back then. As years went by everything compared and emulated one another, and now every mall in the USA look the same.
Matt you need to get out more, maybe go for a hike or something. Life shouldn’t revolve around shopping at a mall. The 80s was the beginning of materialism and conspicuous consumption.
I was 19 in 1984 looking at this video reminds me of my youth ,everyone is put together well,also the population was not overweight .Miss these times thanks for posting
I was 18 and met my now wife of 30 yrs who was a part time gift wrapper at the Meis store there. I was a creature or Camelot Music and the Video Arcade which is where we ultimately met in person. We didn't seal the deal until a few years later, but without the mall, who knows where we would be?
I live two towns away from this mall. Haven’t been there in probably 5 years until this past Christmas when I went to the apple store to get air pods… it’s changed so much even since then. I was 3 when this video was made, I liked the kid jumping into the carriage. He’s probably 45 now
I love this video! Brings back so many memories.. I was 10 in 1984… Burlington mall was so pretty. I used to go there all the time . I miss those days ❤
WOW. I was 9 in 1984 and went to this mall all the time. This video is awesome. Thank you for sharing it. Brings back so many memories. Me and my brother used to love going there and checking out all the older girls.
Yep, I get the attraction to the phones, but don't understand the water bottles. You don't need to hydrate every two minutes, in most places tap water is perfectly fine and what a lot of plastic going into the environment for no good reason.
I used to work at this mall in Burlington, MA, in the late 1980s and early 1990s. My first job there was in the food court. Does anyone remember The Great Hot Dog Experience? We sold hot dogs non-stop.
Ya your right, and no damn people with purple or red hair looking like they're part of a punk rock band!! I say it all the time, send me back to those days!!
I was 6 when this was filmed. I grew up less than an hour north of Burlington, MA, but never visited this mall until the late '90s. Seeing the Jordan Marsh and Filene's signs brings back memories!
Great footage! My family moved to the area in the late 80s and I'm not sure if I ever saw this version of the mall. I only remember it after the renovation. I love seeing all the people walking around in 80s clothes!
I was 12. If they didnt have mine or my mom's size at Filenes or Jordan Marsh in Peobody, the sales associate would call up to Burlington. They would hold the item for us while we raced up the highway to that mall. We only did that maybe twice, but I remember. Burlington was more high end and fancy than Peabody. Much better times in those days.
@Debbie-m7f I still go to the mall or department store when I need shoes and clothes. I just wish these malls didn't have such empty space. Thanks for replying:)
I was also 3 in 1984, and remember it quite well. I have an older sister, so I was hanging around mostly older kids back then. I was pretty advanced for my age.
Jordan Marsh had a restaurant on their second floor. Have to admit those blueberry muffins they had were really good. Somewhere near the mall was a betty crocker pie shop restaurant which other than their pies was pretty basic.
I was 19yo then. Grew up in MA. Looks like Burlington Mall here. Went to Shoppers World in Framingham a lot more. Remember that huge white Jordan Marsh dome. What a trip. Sure miss those days.
In 2,000 years, nobody will remember that malls ever existed. "For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind" (Isaiah 65:17).
I remember going Christmas shopping at the Burlington Mall back in those days. There was usually a significant line of traffic just trying to get into the parking lot. And once in the parking lot, you could drive around for 15 or 20 minutes before actually finding and practically fighting over a parking spot. But once inside the mall, it was completely packed while Christmas songs played in the background. Back then, it really wasn't Christmas until you did the mall battle. And thinking back, it was actually great. I miss those days.

I was 12. I really miss the old mall culture. I was never much of a shopper, but it was always fun to hang out with friends, and meet new ones at the mall. Thankfully Roosevelt Field, in NY is still hanging in there! It's grown so much larger. Been going my whole life.
Oh I remember the Hayward mall back in 1985 so nice cheerful parents not worried about their little ones being excited😂😂😂 running around the food court bursting with laughter & people eating having fun it was a beautiful time😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
I remember going there as a kid. When my mother said we were going it was legit a field trip. That was the big place to go. I had the Assembly square mall and meadow Glenn to go to but Burlington was the palace!
1:01 "Let's go to Sears and look at the new Atari 2600 cartridges." "Nah. Let's go to the arcade. I'll show you how to get high score on Defender. " "Okay.

We gotta go to Record Ranch first. I hear the new MJ album is better than Thriller. " "All right ! You karate learn ! "
I thought this was the Burlington Mall in Burlington, NJ which I used to go to. One thing I don't miss about the 80's was the constant smell of smoke everywhere from ciggies and cigars. But that's about it. Everything else I miss.
This was just one of "my malls" back then. It's still here, but much has changed. At this time, I believe the mall was still a one story, the upper level was yet to come around '88.
A ton of people on here were born in 1970 and were at a very impressionable and probably enjoyable age. I was 17 at the time. Somebody grab me a Delorean!
It's not just somebody, it at least %90 of people now, and it's sad, when we do this, we're in our own little world and we miss a lot of what's going on around us.
I was a South Shore kid, Dedham Mall and Braintree Plaza, but this was good to see. Wish I could have seen more store names so we could play "Out-of-Business-Bingo".
@ distinctly remember - it was at one end of the mall in the mid 80s. Got my first TV, my HP 12C calculator (both of which I still have) and a few other electronics
A great time to go to the movies and watch every iconic movie of 1984. The Terminator would be awesome to watch in the theaters for the very first time.
Notice how nicely everyone is dressed? No funky outfits, pajamas , half dressed women, guys without their butts hanging out of their jeans. Yeah, certainly a better time for everyone!

Burlington Massachusetts and I miss it dearly and back when it was only one story
Burlington, MA? ❤️ Jordan Marsh! Filene’s! I miss them so much… 😌
It is the Burlington Mall in Mass... that Jordan Marsh building to the right is the biggest clue.
I got a Felix the Filene's bear for Christmas... but I can't remember if it was 1984 or 1985.

Anxiety and insecurity masked by narcissism. It's a total abomination.

Absolutely. Phone addicts everywhere. And look what it has caused.

Very different world back then
Not one phone or distracted person and not one water bottle yet everyone looks happy and healthy
NOW ITS SOCIAL MEDIA , PARKING LOT FIGHTS AND SHOOTINGS
ITS WHY ONLINE SHOPPING IS HERE
NO PLASTICS ALL OVER LITTERING LIKE NOW
The old guy with the cigar looks happy and healthy 🙄
Yep, I get the attraction to the phones, but don't understand the water bottles. You don't need to hydrate every two minutes, in most places tap water is perfectly fine and what a lot of plastic going into the environment for no good reason.
My peeve are the people walking around constantly with coffee. But I'm somewhat of a curmudgeon anyway.

People dressed casually but still looked decent. No pajamas, beach wear or pants with holes all over.

People wore normal clothes, not rags advertising corporations.
😊😊so true
They actually washed and ironed their clothes and don’t look like they just rolled out of bed to the street.
They looked decent because nobody was morbidly obese
I was 6 when this was filmed. I grew up less than an hour north of Burlington, MA, but never visited this mall until the late '90s. Seeing the Jordan Marsh and Filene's signs brings back memories!
I was 6 too! Such an awesome time to be a kid.
Not one person grabs the camera & screams that they need their permission to film! It's so relaxing to watch! 🌅
Yes because there wasnt a thing called the internet or social media. And momos trying to be stupid for some 👍
Yea, did you notice the order and decorum plus the lady in the blue shorts. Those were some good times.
My favorite decade 💖
I was 17 years old in 1984! Good times!❤
Hard to believe that was 40 years ago! Time is flying.

Nobody had access to flaming hot cheetos back then
Chipotle's wasn't a thing yet
@@rippingmyheartwassoeasy Cheetos have existed in the US since the 1940s. Also, the mall food courts in the '80s were full of fast food/junk food.
