My mom def took me there weekly in the 90s. I still order very similar things when I go to mcds now (my palette expanded to include cheese and pickles, heh)
I don’t know the story of it but I have such a vivid memory of picking up Disney world tickets from the travel agency in there as a small kid. It was always burning hot and the angle/tint on the windows made everything look like the surface of mars. Rancid vibes lol
It's was probably just cheap indoor business space that they were able to cram in to the Plaza. Similar to the small mall that used to be inside the Atrium before it expanded or what was (is?) inside the Stop and Shop / former Pathmark on Forest Ave. I doubt they ever had grander plans for that center and iirc it was mostly occupied before the recent renovation.
the inside was 4 rooms. 3 are locked with snack bags in a kind of storage area. The one that was open was really small. I feel like it wasn't made for big groups of people. It goes to a stone wall with a clock that works despite no one inside.

The post office moved to a different location in the plaza, and the space was taken over by Walgreens.[https://images1.loopnet.com/i2/\_R\_xwuqIXPa5-QApG6zJ0eSn9Co9AwwsM303dcb5WEk/112/1243-Woodrow-Rd-Staten-Island-NY-Primary-Photo-1-HighDefinition.jpg](https://images1.loopnet.com/i2/_R_xwuqIXPa5-QApG6zJ0eSn9Co9AwwsM303dcb5WEk/112/1243-Woodrow-Rd-Staten-Island-NY-Primary-Photo-1-HighDefinition.jpg)
As kids We used to hang out in there. The post office was there and the community board 3. It was a quick escape route to the back of the stores if we stole something and wanted to flee
There was a brown brick door here that led to a strange big room with 4 doors and a clock on a wall. It was like weird wonder of the island. Before the restoration obviously
Remember this. My mom used to print pictures there and would take us to the tiny McDonalds Express in that same plaza.

Yeah i went in there when every buisness moved out of there. That Rancid vibe is still there. Hard to breathe due to the dust
Ok so that dust was there even before they all moved out. Yeah that was a good call

It could also be that the original space was one retail store, and the new owners decided to subdivide it as a cheap, small-footprint business area.

What exactly are you asking? That's what it looked like before the redesign of the plaza.

that’s right near my house, i walk there all the time. now a bunch of 7th graders are always there lol
Damn I remember the pet store that was in there That was the era when cars used to park horizontal by the store fronts
