- I'm looking for old images of the Glendale Galleria! Here are a few scenes from "Cloak & Dagger" filmed at the Glendale Galleria shopping mall in the early-1980s. Visible are Ohrbach's, Morrow's Nut House, and the Game Keeper store with video games on display!
Does anyone have any more 1980s footage or photos from the Glendale Galleria? I would LOVE to see them!
I frequented the Glendale Galleria during the 80's. Those were some of my favorite times as a child. I can remember the ornamental clock and the glass elevator with its bright, shiny lightbulbs. They were two of the mall's most iconic symbols. There would be the Korean portrait artist, well-known for his paintings of U.S. presidents. Next to his studio would be the pet shop. Everyone would go and pet the furry loveables, tap on the glass windows which housed them, and tease the squawking parrots. Next to the pets shop was a KayBee toys store, which was cool! I was able to purchase my G.I.Joes, Voltron, ThunderCats, SilverHawks, M.A.S.K, or Transformers from there! On the mall's second level, there was a Kodak photoprinting shop. It was a few storefronts from the videogame shop for which scenes from this "Cloak and Dagger" movie were filmed. The Kodak shop had a window for which passerbys can watch photos being processed and sorted from a conveyor-like machine. On occasions, the Galleria would have special events such as the LEGO exhibit of world monuments (i.e. Statue of Liberty, Taj Mahal) or the Santa Claus meet and greet (and pricy phototaking). I can remember Santa handing out plastic, Santa rings that looked like Ringpops. But, my most cherished and fondest memory of the Galleria of the 80's was going to the ice cream store next to the Radio Shack. I think it was a Baskin Robbins. Upon entering, there would be the vintage, clown on unicycle zipping back and forth on a tightrope. That was awesome! That captivated my attention and curiosity. Then, of course, my family and I would purchase either a single or double-scoop on sugarcones. Mine was the chocolate ice cream. These were the simple, wonderful days!! We need to have more of these, especially during this chaotic time of racial/civil unrest, global COVID-19 pandemic, staggering growth of homelessness, hunger, and climate change.
thanks for that breakdown. A lot of what you said struck a cord w me. It was truly a special place and a great mall.
remember the piano store and sometimes someone would play? or that small coffee shop that smelled so good?
Your recall of the mall's details is excellent. One of my family's favorite spots was the coffee shop that was next to the elevator closest to JCPenney. And I mourn all the seating that was taken out to discourage "resting". Pretty shortsighted decision 'cuz a tired shopper is one who will likely head home sooner.
wow.. that pet store was called pet love!.. and it had a parrot in the front that could talk.
my favorite memory was when glendale galleria had fao schwarz and right when you walked in you would hear the song 'welcome to our world of toys'.
I remember I went in 2011 and couldn't believe how tired and old the mall looked. I returned in 2023 and thankfullyl it has had a refurbishment. But personally, I like this 80s look. It has a lot of warmth to it.
omg the clock tower , the floors, seats, stores everything I fondly remember 😂.
ME TOO! 😪😓😢😨😩😭
My old hangout! 😭

Haha I remember that spot...kaybees
Please read my recollection of the 80's Galleria. You may have similar thoughts.
Anyone remember the older gentleman artist who would sit and paint recreations near the store window?
I totally remember him .. as a kid , my grandmother used to sit on the benches there and I would just stand there and watch him paint. Just about a few years ago , a friend of mine who just recently passed had him paint a picture of his mother and himself as a baby ♥️
I remember him. It's been about 20 years ago?
I grew up in Glendale . Loved growing up there in the 80’s , if it would have not been for my grandma , I would have never experienced the awesomeness there ., such has the mall , arcades and movie theatre’s
Old shoping malls rock
Thx Kenny for giving my childhood mall (well my version in the 2000s before 201X) a good compliment
My favorite store in the Galeria when I was growing up! Got all our D&D books and dice there as well as chess sets.
The "New" Twilight Zone from the mid-'80s had an episode "The After Hours" that was filed entirely in the Glendale Galleria, mostly in and around JC Penney's and Toy International.
I actually grew up in Glendale as a young kid in the 80's and remember going in the Game Keeper! Who else remembers this store in the Glendale Galleria that had all these high tech gadgets, LED phones, and video games? I think it was called "Future Time" or something...
Yes! Futuretronics
@@AdamConlea That's it... Futuretronics! Wow, it's funny how I remembered that place. I also remember Kay Bee Toys, the big glass elevator in the center, Don's Toys, GNC, Boys Will Be Boys... So Adam, how old are you? Did you grow up in Glendale as well back in the 80's?
@@JSC178 I was 12 in 1976 when the Glendale Galleria opened, so I spent part of my youth (and adulthood there), especially in the 1980s when I would make the rounds at all the toy and electronics stores looking for the latest video game cartridges (remember Babbage's and Electronics Boutique?). I still live in the area, but have become quite disillusioned with the place since Americana at Brand opened across the street, forcing the Galleria to "modernize." The brick interior has been covered up with drywall, the wooden railings with metal, and the once-carpeted floors are now faux-marble, shiny and white. The warm, homey atmosphere we enjoyed is now sterile and cold. So sad.
@@AdamConlea I hear ya, it's definitely not homey and cozy like it used to be. As a matter of fact, most malls aren't. It really is sad that they had to modernize but that's just the way of things, I guess. At least we have our memories though, right? And yes, I do remember Babbage's and Electronics Boutique! I used to go to both of those stores to pick up Super NES games back in the early 90's. I was born in '78 so I'm a little younger than you but can still definitely relate to the 80's and 90's era. Those days were awesome. Whereabouts do you live in Glendale? I used to live up near Kenneth and Dorothy Drive growing up. I reside in Long Beach now but end up in Glendale from time to time doing Uber, since I drive for them full-time. My dad used to live right near the fire station across from the mall over on Columbus. I love driving around the old neighborhood whenever I come to town!
@@JSC178 Jason did you go to rd.white?
Does anyone remember the artisan popcorn place that used to be near the store that is now a luggage store? Opposite the sunglasses hut.
This is the mall that over 30 years Later Billie Ellish would film her "Therefore I am" Music Video.
@davendea Thanks for the tip! I found 10 minutes of that episode on UA-cam and was delighted to see footage of the 1980s Glendale Galleria.
This isn't the Glendale I grew up with, I was looking for the early 2000s one up till 2009 with the carpet checkered floors and palm trees. But seeing this side of my childhood and current go to mall is still cool
Fast Times, Commando, Chopping Mall. And many more filmed at my beloved Galleria.
Wow, this whole time I thought that was a mall in San Antonio. I thought it was Windser park mall, I grew up here in San Antonio and loved Cloak & Dagger. I used to visit that mall as a child. (it has since closed down)
My last good memory at Glendale Galleria was getting coffee at the convenience store near the food court with a girlfriend at the time. It was very early in the morning so the mall felt cozy. We sat in front of fancy kitchen store and had our coffee. A moment of peace in our Chaos.
I miss the KB toy store!!!!
MAC Cosmetics is located in place of where the Game Keeper stood in this clip. That area of the mall was reconfigured in the late-1980s when Ohrbach's closed and its space was turned into more mall shops.
Looked better back then!
Therefore I am but it's the 80s
The Gamekeeper! I loved that store!
There was a CVS next to a pet store right?
OH SHIT THE GAME KEEPER I GREW UP IN THIS MALL LITERALLY WOW THANKS FOR THE FOOTAGE IT'S UNRECOGNIZABLE NOW 😭😭I would do anything to go back Same time just for one day 😢😕😓😪😭😭
Same here. i miss the warner brothers store
Does anyone remember a pseudo-English pub on the second floor? I think it was by Orange Julius. We went there all this time, but no one in my family remembers and thinks I am making it up!
Johanna Karlen yes yes yes and I wish I could remember the name!! I thought I was the only one who remembered this!
Yes it was next to orange julius..I loved those drinks as a child
No I don't remember it.
Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Chopping Mall also filmed in the old galleria
Totally found E.T. in there once. Near the clock tower. Outside of JC Penney and near the Florsheim shoe store. Yep. He had a bunch of lollipops from See's Candies and was muttering something about how great a pitcher Vance Lovelace might be some day. Yep. Totally from outer space. Hey does the Galleria still have Pizza Pete's in the food court?
Yeah the clock tower brings back memories. Looks like the kid went into Brookstone.
I used to hang out there in the 1970's/80's. Met a beautiful girl named Kristin there we always were kissing all over each other. She lived in Glendale above Glenoaks.
@Angelslover9 sorry bout that. i was on my period about not getting an old ass cb750 bike i wanted and i was hating on everything. even the mall. i got one now and the mall has once again become a cool place for me.
which mall was this??? Windsor Park Mall? River Center????
Vanessa B Glendale Galleria
It literally says "Glendale Galleria"
Glendale
this mall sucks now!
It’s better now, although still empty
Mall looks so generic and boring now.
There was a KB toys and another toy store that went out of business that I always used to love going to (early 2000s). Then they brought in a Lego store and I was set.
Therefore I am but it's the 80s
