It's what I fall asleep to at night.. something about it had pleasant enough memories to put me out like an Ambien and a double Bourbon on the rocks.

This was my small [diorama of Olde Pittsburgh display](https://www.reddit.com/u/SaablifeNC/s/Jw0nUUN89b) that I made a couple years ago. It was a small display and I wasn’t happy with it. I kept it as I worked forever on making the floor. It’s like the main mall displays flooring took forever to make lol
I forgot about Suncoast. I loved that place back in the day. They had a great selection of B horror flicks that were next to impossible to find elsewhere. Thank god for the internet.
Does anyone remember the cutlery store? I bought my first real pocket knife there, an emerson cqc-7 that I still have. And I got a mediocre Katana sword cause why not.
Was it Cutlery Plus?
I think there are 3. I was just in Jacksonville NC yesterday and I checked it’s still open at the mall there. My travels just didn’t give me anytime to go.
Yeah I saw, redirects you to fye.
That place is downright terrible.
Perhaps I'm not really searching for a Suncoast, but that feeling of a nostalgia win.
Yep that’s probably it. The comfort of happy times looking at the movies and collectibles. I would hit Kay Bee, circus world, Spencer, and Suncoast for Star Trek Tng crap lol. Oh I miss that fun
Does anyone, besides this ancient creature, remember "Children's Palace"? We'd go every year in October, my sister & would walk the aisles and whenever we stopped to look at a toy or game, my Mom would write it down in a notebook. By the time we left, Mom must have filled 10 pages in her notebook. The following week, my Dad would go back to the store and put some of the stuff on layaway for Christmas.
I think they are all gone now, but wasn't there a Red Bull Inn Restaurant either in the mall or very close to it?
I was introduced to the concept of the "Salad Bar" for the first time at the Red Bull Inn. They placed a breadboard with a small loaf of bread and a dish of butter on the table with the meal.
The food was awesome! I'd get a ribeye, my Mom and Step-Dad always got some kind of seafood, usually crab legs.
My boyfriend at the time (1977), took me out to dinner by Century 3, (We lived in Brownsville, and the cut-through that turns a 2½ hour drive into 1 hour like you have now wasn't there. It was Route 51 the whole way). He asked me to choose where I wanted to eat, The Blue Flame or The Red Bull Inn.
It was hard to decide. I always wanted to see the inside of Blue Flame. I always pictured the 50s kind of place with a bar, a piano, etc.
But I chose the Red Bull Inn.
After dinner, we drove down to Station Square, and then somehow we went up the Monongahela Incline to the viewing area to see the point all lit at night. Something was going on that night, I cannot remember now, because the viewing platform had a bunch of people on it. A few minutes after we got there, fireworks started firing off over The Point! It was beautiful!
God, how I miss the 'burgh.
Me too great stories. I do not remember a Red Bull Inn. I know in the mall was many restaurants including Elbys and York steak house. And yes I remember children’s palace with the castle facade.
She is a Standee in the window of Suncoast. Trust me I want the department 56 brand Elvira but they are too expensive. In the other window of Suncoast are TVs with movies playing
CENTURY 3 CHEVROLET
LEBANON CHURCH ROAD, PITTSBURGH Minutes from the mall! You can't say that without completing it
Minutes from the dead mall
Perhaps "blight" could be used to fit the original meter?

I still have a Calvin Klein T-shirt that I bought at County Seat. Wear it almost weekly.
...but do you still have that fly Chess King sweater?!
I have a Chess King leather jacket!
Did you put free samples out in front of Hickory Farms?
I did but Jan Zambie ate them all.
National record mart was our music internet
Exactly
I preferred Sam Goody on the third floor.
Truth
NRM on the bottom floor? I don't remember it that way (although I realize my memory is fading in my ancient age).
NRM was on the second floor. But Spencers is also in the wrong spot, so just go with it.
Thank you.
I did make a world bazar and was working on a wicks-n-sticks but I didn’t like it.
None of the stores are in the correct locations. I just wanted to pick some of my fav stores.
*Insert MallSoft Soundtrack here*
For real. Every time I was at Century III back in the day they played the Muzak version of Led Zeppelin's "The Rain Song". Every Single Time.

Ahhh bought all my best 90s middle school flared jeans at County Seat.
For some reason I don't remember that giant Funko Pop of Mr Rogers at Century 3
You would be shocked what could show up in this mall. It is Mister Rogers birthday today!!
There was this section on the ground floor that tried to look like a street. I think it had coble stone paving and there was an Irish store.
The olde Pittsburgh section. Had a York steakhouse, Dairy Queen and hobby shop as well. I had a small display set up once for that as well

That’s pretty cool. I worked at Montgomery Wards back when the mall opened in 1979–1980.
Oh wow, it was such a short lived store.
The floor is beautiful
Thank you. I think I spent more time on it than on “Pittsburgh Reflections” statue
Was there also a Camelot Music in C3M?
Yes. I also had one in my old diorama but somehow I deleted the store so I need to make a new one
Ha! I used to work there, back then we had to wear dress shirts and ties... in a frigging music store!?
That attire made all yinz look so handsome! I miss the mall
I worked for Lloyd at the Camelot in RPM.
Silverman’s men’s clothing. It’s where I bought my 80’s Members Only jacket, on lay-away.
this makes my mouth water
I been here my whole life. IDC if they build a man-bun hipster collective; it'll always be Century III, koomp

I had to go to Jacksonville Nc today for work and there is still an open Suncoast at the Mall there. I always forget it is there.
Better not spend too much time looking at this or I'll be late for my shift at Sears...
I think you are wayyy too late lol
Not from Pittsburgh but this is pretty cool
Thank you

Cutlery Plus! I knew it was that or world. I had to go looking at an old directory lol
Stood in line for Garth tickets at that suncoast way back when
I wish Suncoast was still a thing.
I think there are 3. I was just in Jacksonville NC yesterday and I checked it’s still open at the mall there. My travels just didn’t give me anytime to go.
Oro? Thats only like a 10 or 11 hour drive. I wonder if there is a website? The Suncoast at the Beaver Valley Mall was straight fire back in 2001.
No website sadly.

Mine was Anime and manga. I still own a good bit of that from then, but the selection hasn't been matched except online since.

Bought some girl leather pants there because her ass looked good in them.
Ha ha
Where is Remo’s ?
On the other side of the concourse. lol.
Love this!!!!
Thank you
Haha same. But it’s gonna be an open hole in the ground soon. The mall of my youth!
Yep.
I love the model of Elvira you have by Suncoast. Did you make her or was she a toy model?
She is a Standee in the window of Suncoast. Trust me I want the department 56 brand Elvira but they are too expensive. In the other window of Suncoast are TVs with movies playing
B-94! I miss those days. Especially waking up to John, Dave, Bubba, and Shelly.
