Even into the 90s malls we're popping. Friday night was: go to the mall....and just wander.

Maybe get an Auntie Ann's pretzel, maybe get a new stupid shirt or poster at Spencer's, maybe play laser tag, and maybe see the latest movie. But mostly it was just chilling, running into people you know, and definitely hitting up the arcade.

I was 16 in '98, and the mall was still largely the center of teen socialization at that time.

I understand that it's not always possible for everyone, but this is exactly why I have zero electronics in my bedroom (aside from my phone charging on my bedside table, but that doesn't have an always on LED).

That plus blackout curtains have really improved my sleep!

When did you go and have a bad experience? What weekday and time? Because if you're going to a major show, opening weekend, 7-10pm, there's a good chance you're going to have a bad experience. That's true, in my experience, at pretty much every theater anywhere. That's when the rabble comes out and they tend to ruin everything.
