I remember the day, I was the overnight crew that cleans Camp Snoopy, I'd stayed after work to witness the crowd. I was a little sweaty and smelly to join the crowd though.

I love MOA! My grandma would take me to Camp Snoopy every summer when I would come to visit. We had the best time!!! That place has such great memories for me. I need to go back. I know Camp Snoopy is gone but just to be there would be awesome!

The highwater mark of where we are going... that statement aged badly. Lol go to a mall nowadays and find most of them empty as F. I guess this was the high water mark, but it was def not the direction the world kept moving to.

I miss the old Mall of America. It doesn't even look remotely recognizable today. I hate going there now. I'm done going there now that it has become a shooting gallery for delinquents
