I don't remember this at all. Newberry's had a luncheonette, and there was a smoke shop that sold "smoking" and bondage supplies, and the pizzeria, that's all I remember from that part of the mall.

Do you know the name of the restaurant? Or was the place called uncle boomers?
Spoke to a friend today who clearly remembers Uncle Boomers. That was the name of the place. He's a few years younger than me so I am assuming when it was open I was patronizing Solomon Grundys.

I told my husband about this and he does not remember any place in the mall selling bondage supplies LOL.
It was a small place, next to a music store, on the same row as the pizzeria, the main part of the mall. It had purple neon lighting. Does anyone remember Orange Julius? I loved those drinks.
Spent a lot of time there when I was a kid...I can remember when that place was crowded, before everything died off for that place in the late 80s to the early 90s. In fact, I can vaguely remember when it was an open shopping center, and not an enclosed mall. When Gertz was still Gertz. And the Sears Auto Center was out by Sunrise where Staples is now.
I remember towards the end when Gardiner Manor only had a handful of stores and was largely deserted my friends and I would ride our bikes in there, and would only get strange looks.
Before it died I used to like the pet store, Fin & Feather I think. This thread brought back memories lol.
