ABSTRACT
I’m not too sure what year it was but, essentially I was … maybe 16 or younger, no younger than 14 so I was either, 14 or you know between 14 and 16. Well, Saturday nights in Indianapolis for black teens at the time was to go downtown to the Circle Center Mall. That’s what we did Saturday nights, that’s where everybody was going, doesn’t matter what side of town you were from, doesn’t matter what school you went to, you was going to the mall. We spent money, downtown capitalized off of our dollars, for sure we always bought something whether it was as small as a pair of earrings or a shirt from, you know, Aeropostale always had a sale, um, and this was around the time also where McDonald’s used to be at the hotel basement adjacent from the Circle Center Mall so it was like, they they got their dollars, we were spending money.
