Great pic of Joe's Diner. To the best of my recollection, Joe's Diner was where Scotiabank is now, and it was there in the early 1980s. I specifically recall that the '57 Chevy in the diner was only half a car, cut right down the center, and the open side contained a salad bar.
My main stop in the mall was Martime Hobbies and Crafts - upstairs, I believe. I vaguely remember that the mall had been remodelled sometime during the early '80s. I'm having trouble visualizing the exact layout, though it may be just that I didn't spend that much time there since I lived in Dartmouth (went to Mic Mac and Penhorn much more). The mall has changed so much over the years that it is difficult remembering its original configuration without extensive visual references.
I appreciate all the comments from those who remember it well - it brings back a lot of memories.
