For the first time since moving back to Oklahoma City five years ago, I recently visited my old 90s-era stomping grounds of Penn Square Mall and was both shocked and saddened to see how much it has changed the past 20 years. I spent so much of my life there, first as a teenage mallrat who lived within loitering distance of the place and then as a sworn employee of Suncoast and then as a manager first at the Regal Cinema and then when it became the woefully begotten Dickenson Theater.
And as far as my time as a seasonal Hot Topic stocker, that's probably best left forgotten.
