Throwback: Meadowhall through the Decades

Let's trip down memory lane, shall we? Who remembers the old arcade where Primark now stands? Spent so much of my teens there. And the giant slide in the kid's play area before health & safety became, like, a huge thing. Old Meadowhall had a charm that's kinda missing now, or is it just me gettin' nostalgic?

Yeah, the corporations have taken over and sucked the soul out of places like Meadowhall. Used to be you could spend all day there and not even shop. Just enjoy the uniqe spots. Kids nowadays will never get it. It's all efficiency over experience, sad times...

You've unlocked some core memories! Those arcade machines were the best, remember the Street Fighter tournaments? Miss those days so much. Primark serves its purpose but doesn't hold a candle to the fun we had there.

Eh, I'm not sure I'd be happy with my kids playing on a giant slide with little supervision... I guess I'm a buzzkill, but the current Meadowhall feels safer? Maybe I'm just turning into my own parents hahaha.

I don’t know, I kinda like the new layout. I mean, it’s cleaner, more modern. And there's a better variety of food places now, which is a plus. But yeah, sometimes I do miss those quirky little places where you'd just hang out.

Arcade? Giant slide?? Man, I missed out! Only know Meadowhall as it is now, with the standard shops and stuff. Sounds like it was an adventure place in the past 😩

omg yes! the slide was legendary! they definitely don’t make malls like they used to. everything now is just so... idk, sanitized? no quirky character left. everything felt bigger and more magical when we were kids, didn't it?

Absolutely remember that arcade! The coin-op games there were the bomb. Every weekend, that was the spot. Sad to see those days gone, Primark just ain't the same vibe!
