You remember the International Food Court in Moonta St

You mean what is now Chinatown

[Footy Chick]

Buying ice creams direct from the Amscol factory in Cypress Street (or wedged inbetween Angas and Carrington, if you will)

Very handy when you lived almost across the road from it

Marion Shopping Centre before the multi storey office block that is on Diagonal Rd.

The original Marion Shopping Centre cinema. A single-screen affair roughly where the CBA is now.

John Martins

I remember Marion as a very young kid (mid 70's) as Myer at one end, John Martins at the other and bugger all else except Lloyd's in the western end of the car park. Went back there alone while on a visit from interstate (grandparents lived on the other side of Sturt road) and somehow got lost. Finding an exit towards Lloyd's helped me get my bearings.

Gawd, you know you're nearing 40 if you can remember Lloyds!

I can recall the old Mile End store being something else before it was Lloyds
