Thanks for digging up those sweet memories!!:) It was such a treat to go to yorks steak house, my sisters and I always opted for the chocolate pudding with the dollop of whipped cream and shaved chocolate, we always had a small fight over who got the one with the biggest piece of shaved choclate- and oh yes those shinny buttery dinner rolls- it was fun- especially walking the mall AFTER dinner when the shops were closed.

It is amazing how many great memories I have of such a young age. I remember walking to the mall with friends (no adults) and staying there for hours. When I was 11 and 12!!!! I remember my mom taking me to York Steak House when I was really young. What a treat to get either the cubed jello or the pudding and those big steak fries. I remember my mom riding me to the mall on the back of her bike (we live a mile or 2 away on Concord Street). It is so rare when I get to go back and now the mall area in particular is totally unrecognizable. I remember when they changed Stop and Shop to Toys R Us. That was the beginning of the end of the original. I grew up in Framingham until I was 13 and moved to the west coast. It is amazing how many great memories I have of such a young age.

I think I read somewhere that Shopper's World was the first outdoor mall in the U.S. Used to be a great place to visit at Christmastime, with the lights, music and reindeer you could feed. Good memories. Thanks. York Steak House … free soda refills and a Boston cream pie that only a kid could love!

I've lived out of state since 1995 and I practically cry every year when visiting family to see the soulless vanilla shopping wasteland that the Golden triangle has become. Shoppers World is now a crying shame! I mean, the golden triangle since the 1950s was always a retail attraction, but there was so much more decades ago. There was a lot of entertainment, night clubs, and cocktail lounges. You could make a night (a late night) of it right here in suburbia. Now it's nothing but entirely forgettable stores (except maybe for Walter Dyer is Leather). Oh yeah, and traffic. Soul-sucking, rage inducing traffic. I really appreciate your site, as well as framingham.wordpress and Natick Dave's natick.wordpress sites. The work you do is to be commended and I thank all of you for putting so much effort into it. Coming to your sites is like visiting home and chatting with the friends I grew up with. I love the pictures.

I loved York Steak House. For 99 cents you could get one of their tasty rolls, a small steakburger, fries. It was sooo good. I actually miss the old mall. Heck, I miss the old feel of Framingham. You guys do a great job with the old pics and the website. Keep up the great work I love looking at the old photos and the “old” Framingham. I loved York Steak House.

It was where Walgreens is now. He accidentally lit his aunt's hair on fire during the candle lighting part of the festivities. I still see Bob Duca every once in a while.
