Dicks moved in to that anchor location a few years ago, and I saw the writing on the wall. Just brutal.

That being said, all their fishing tackle for the moment is 20% off I believe. I picked up a couple of rods last week.

I use to buy my worms there in the 60's.
Bought my first pair of Ray Bans there as well.
Well there is always Herman's...right?

And as for Dicks, they got dick for fishing stuff..especially rods

I worked there for a few years in the evenings -- very sad. I've lost contact with some of the folks there but when I lived in Bergen County I shopped there before the time I worked there and since. Again, very sad Hopefully they relocate to another location nearby!

I remember going there with my father when I was a kid, they even had batting cages in the back of the store in the 60's! unfortunatly they have turned into a clothing store instead of an outdoor store.

Sucks, they are a nice alternative to the "big box" stores we've become saturated with in Northern NJ.

They are supposedly relocating but haven't found a location yet. Hope they stick around.

Since we are reminiscing, does anyone remember Hermans ??

Back in the early 70s, while most kids were at Sam Goodies record stores buying 45s or at Spencers buying black light posters, I would be in Herman's drooling over fishing stuff. I can remember one particular visit like it was yesterday....

I found my first and still favorite higher end salt water fishing pole in the clearance rack but I was a few bucks short. I was so determined to have that pole, I hid it behind a bunch of stuff, went to a few fountains in the mall and "borrowed" $2 worth of change and went back to the store and picked up Black Beauty.

Man was I proud of that pole.

Gerry was that the Herman's in Garden State Mall ?

Woodbridge Mall Doc. As kids we'd actually WALK or even RIDE OUR BIKES to the mall... Can you believe that

Parents would probably be reported to DYFS if they let their kids do that today...

Man I'm sounding more and more like an old fart every day
