Even a picture with the mall or a store in the background. Just to see Waldenbooks or the Bun N Burger sign again Sam Goody, B Dalton. Anyone remember there was even a French Cafe on the second floor called Le Chalet?
There’s a group on Facebook called “Monmouth Mall Memories” that has good vintage pictures

oh wow thanks! bingo, i didn’t know about it!
I miss Monmouth Mall in its heyday. I loved the little telephones that were attached to those fake trees that children could use to listed to a story or the playground in The Children’s Place. I was a mall rat back in the early 90’s. Back when they had an arcade and pet shop.
i'd love to get some pictures of bridgewater commons from its heyday in the late 80s/early 90s, especially when they had each level kinda themed in terms of how fancy the stores on that level were (commons collection, etc. i wish i remembered what the other ones were called) and the three story escalator that they took out when they built the new elevators, etc.
I thought the French restaurant was called Le Crepe? I had a home ec class in high school and we took a class trip there.
Yes i’m probably totally wrong on the name, you have a good memory!
you’re right!! i googled to see if there were any pics, saw someone is selling La Crepe Monmouth Mall T shirts LOL https://jsmemories.com/collections/eatontown/products/la-crepe-monmouth-mall-short-sleeve-t-shirt
Was this the place near A&S, now Boscovs?
I think so. It was across from the store Wet Seal or a store like that and there was a cookie place next to it also, maybe Famous Amos?
I miss tripping on hallucinogens and wandering the mall. Those were fun times lol. let me check my livejournal for pics of the crew hanging in/outside intrinsic across the various places it was located.
Omg I miss intrinsic. I was a mall rat in the early 2000s there. Spending hours trying on clothes with friends, stocking up on metal albums at hot topic. being chased out of stores just cause I dressed goth. Good times.
There is a current search to find a time capsule that was put in the 60s somewhere under the mall. If it gets found you can see pics from back then. Here’s the article: https://patch.com/new-jersey/longbranch/bp--help-solve-the-mystery-of-the-missing-monmouth-ma5461ff93c4

Malls get a bad rap, but I was thinking recently how great Malls could be.
It's an all weather gathering place, where you can get exercise, meet people and overall have a nice time. As climate gets more extreme, like summers being unbearably hot and winters just generally sucking, Malls seem like a pretty great option to have around.
