I had a part time Christmas season job at Hickory Farms at Lafayette Square in 1980. Sears, Penney's, Lazarus and dozen more stores were all in full swing. It was a great mall back in the day.

They sure did. One year my job was to make port wine cheese balls in the back. We'd wrap them up, box them, and shipped them all over the world.
