Memorabilia

Did you manage to get a piece of the Mall to hang on to? A chair, a sign, something that says "Mall of Memphis" on it? Did you buy something from the mall that you still use?

If so, how about snapping a pic of the item and posting it here so mall fans can enjoy?

If you have mall items to sell - post them here - for free!!!

If you don't have anything, consider visiting the Malls Shopping page - we have logo items and other junk to remind you of our lost Mall.

Thanks!

Food Court Chair

Remember those blue and yellow food court chairs? They were made extra heavy duty to avoid damage from unruly teens or just rough treatment. They were tough to just slide up to the table you were eating at, because of their weight. Apparently, most of the chairs were simply hauled away to landfills along with the concrete and rubble of the mall itself.

One food court chair lives on today in an undisclosed secure storage location, saved from the fate suffered by the rest of the mall. Maybe you sat in this chair during a visit? Note the color fade on the chair compared to the food court pic - taken on the last day the mall was open. Apparently this chair spent some time stored outside, before it was rescued. Thanks D!!!!!!

Video Concepts VCR

This VCR was purchased from Video Concepts in the mall, in the early 80's. This JVC HIFI VCR was over $1100 and that was with an employee discount. It does still work and has more buttons than you can imagine...but you can buy a better VCR now for $40....

Service Merchandise Alarm Clock

I was given this Sony alarm clock (Dream Machine, model ICF-C120) for Christmas in 1992. It was purchased at the Service Merchandise in the Mall of Memphis. Hasn't missed a minute for 14 years. --Clinton Yelvington

Chris stumbled across this surprising remnant of the Mall recently, an in-ground sprinkler head from the irrigation system that watered the Malls landscaping.
