Video of the Week:Mall City- Roosevelt Field Mall in 1983

This NYU video documented the Roosevelt Field Mall 42 years ago!

Check out what Long Islanders were like before the Internet and smart phones.

Life seemed simpler and people were quick to smile and laugh. And boy, those accents!

What memories do you have of the 1980s and Roosevelt Field?

Enjoy,

Howard Kroplick
