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

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.

There’s a group on Facebook called “Monmouth Mall Memories” that has good vintage pictures

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.

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.

oh wow thanks! bingo, i didn’t know about it!

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.

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

oh this is amazing . i love this stuff

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.

shit, odds i know you or at least have seen you.

That’s a chapter of my life where I’d prefer not to bump into ghosts of the past. So I shall stay anonymous

it's cool, i shall die alone then
