A vivid memory for me comes from the late 80's begging for I.O.U. sweatshirts and Guess jeans at Merry-Go-Round. Boy, were they expensive.

There were two local stores I had to hit, too. Shoes for Her and Sunshine Blues, both in Turnersville.

I also really loved Clover, Kids R Us, Pasta (which used to be in the Echelon Mall), Contempo Casuals, and Joyce Leslie.

And, then I think of department stores like Strawbridge's, Gimbels, and Wannemaker's.
