My mom was no help; she didn't even know what I was talking about. I searched "the old natick mall" and was surprised, more like relieved, to see the name and picture here. Thanks for helping my 41 year old memory. I was desperately trying to think of the York Steak House, but couldn’t. My mom was no help; she didn’t even know what I was talking about.

Sure miss those days!!!!

Random memories: 1) York Steak House ... picking out your meal items from the cafeteria-style line, steaks with plastic cards in front of them showing the cooking temperature, great Boston Cream Pie! 2) The fountain in Natick Mall just outside of York Steak House. Around Christmastime, they covered it over and turned it into a great model railroad display. 3) Getting my school clothes at Sears, and my Boy Scout supplies (anyone remember the little Boy Scout outlet inside of Sears?). 4) More Sears memories ... great artificial Christmas tree selection, including one with singing electronic birds and artificial snow that would fall down from the top, be collected at the bottom and brought back up to fall again. Seeing new home video game consoles for the first time, including the Vectrex (OK, I'm a nerd). 5) Shopper's World ... walking outside at Christmas time, great decorations and reindeer display. 6) Fun 'n' Games video arcade, pitch black inside, huge amount of noise from all the cabinet video games, pinball machines and Skee-ball. Strawberries Records, in the same strip mall. I've been back a few times since, and maybe I'm getting old, but it just seems way too crowded and strangely arranged to me, with all the various access roads darting around at different angles, between the stores.

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.
