I found it to be a neat period piece as well. Of particular note is just how there is practically zero obesity, and even very few overweight people, present.

This is the mall near where I grew up, and we used to ride our bikes up to the mall and waste time in the arcade. It was interesting to see it the way I remember as a kid (I wasn't a teenager when this was filmed), but it's so typical of Kansas City suburbs, especially this area, where people were racist and thought they were better than people in the urban core. Even the jerk manager was obviously racist.
The mall is still there today and successful, and definitely racially integrated now. But there are plenty of fat people too lol! I never liked living there and left home after high school and never lived there again. When I have to go back now and then to deal with family, it seems strange to go into this mall and realize it's the place I went all the time as a little kid.
