Here's another short 10 second spot for the Oak Park Village Mall. Remember this? When they blocked off Lake Street and created an outdoor "mall" much in the way they did with State Street?

"...a beautiful place to shop"

This likely aired on local Chicago TV in July of 1976.

Views: 2738

Here's Part 1 of an interesting time capsule - the presentation from a videodisc that ran on an in-store kiosk display to demonstrate the Atari Home Computer. This was around the time of Dragon's Lair and other laserdisc games which made the medium very popular for encorporating with computers.
