It was 1981, and business was good.

We all like to look to the past and remember what once was.  These are the stores of the Maine Coast Mall in Ellsworth back in 1981, when it seemed that every storefront was filled with merchandise that we felt we needed, badly. This is where one would go to buy that new shirt or pair of shoes, the latest book, one of those new VCRs, or see Animal House at the local movie theater.

Like the Bangor Mall farther up the road, the Maine Coast Mall in Ellsworth was once a very busy place.  Here are some of the stores that occupied it back in 1981.  Did we miss any?  Let us know!
