“Also on the site was Condon’s Department Store, a locally owned department store with a location in downtown Charleston which was founded in the 1800’s. The mall also featured a 2-screen General Cinema and national tenants such as Revco Drug, Radio Shack, Thom McAn, Hickory Farms, Piece Goods Shop, Friedman’s Jewelers and a mix of locally owned shops.”

This is also from Deadmalls.com and is about the mall that was on the highway right between my house and my grandparents house growing up. I was just telling Lee about this place last night, I was talking about Condon’s which I said is the best place to buy Buster Brown saddle shoes, or lead crystal vases.

I think it’s odd that they don’t even mention the weirdness of the DMV being located just inside a backdoor with parking near the stores’ dumpsters. That’s where I got my permit.
