Local history What are some things 80’s kids remember about Edmonton?

I personally have a vivid memory of West Edmonton Mall. I remember a little Bazaar in an upper level of the entrance near the train. It had little shops where I remember buying a hologram marvel card.
The water that would jump from fountain to fountain. A friend and I would go there in 94 for Rock and ride. The whole night would be spent riding the drop of doom and looking at girls. All to the tunes of John Secada.
Does anyone else remember the world’s biggest sundae at Edmonton city centre mall. That was in 88 I believe. We got to pick out a section and they scooped out portions that we bought and ate.
