Let's take a closer look at all the shops at Stranger Things' Starcourt Mall.

Of course, the special effects in Strange things 3 were impressive, with rats exploding, a very powerful Mind Flayer and powerful Russian lasers trying to reopen the portal in Upside Down. But … did you note the innumerable stacks of colorful 80s clothes in The Gap at Hawkins, the problem of the Starcourt Mall? Attention to detail in the mall, from the Orange Julius Jazzercise to the Burger King, was at the rendezvous.

The Los Angeles Times explains in detail how "the Gwinnett Place Mall, a suburban shopping center in Atlanta that has seen better days," has been transformed into an impressive neon, Starcourt, which involved removing and restoring about 40 different restaurants . stores. For a more sentimental exploration, check out eighetiesbaby.net, where writer John Bilancini compares Starcourt to the huge shopping malls of his youth. What interests us: JC Penney, Sam Goody, Hot Sam, Claire's Boutique and oh my god, Spirit.

A little more suspicious is Hot Dog On A Stick, which would probably be more of a west coast thing than the hot spot of west-central Hawkins. Plus, we never learned the name of the lingerie shop. Would there really be a store also so creatively styled as Camera Repair? Scoops Ahoy, of course, is a fictional franchise, but we heard that his best employees were hired by a video store.
