Bannister Mall Memories
Posted 3/15/2009 1:00:00 PM
I can't help but get sad every time I pass Bannister Mall on 435. Seeing all the history being destroyed saddens me. I know that the improvements are going to benefit the area of South side Kansas City, MO and possibly start new memories for others like Bannister Mall did for all of us. I just didn't think it would be so hard to drive pass there every morning and feel the pain of my memories going away. It's also a good thing that I have fond memories of Bannister Mall so lets see where do I start....... Taking pictures with Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny every year. Hello Kitty was the store until Mr. Bulky's came in and took over. One hour photo, now looking back at those pictures they are to funny. The movies was the place to be even if you had to have a parent with you. I also performed there with my dance school many of times and it was always packed with people. Well these are a few of my memories of Bannister Mall, but I know you all have plenty more so post your memories below.

My favorite mall memory was sitting at the food court maybe grabbing a burger from Big Al's and watching everyone walk by. Really everything. Everytime I tell a story to my children about when I was a teen it is always something about me, my friends & family at the mall. I went on my first date at that mall.haha!! Great times man, I'm really going to miss it.

I totally loved Hello Kitty!!! I think my favorite memories of Bannister was when school was out and my grandma and I would eat at the Chinese Restaurant downstairs. Chi Chi's was awesome too. I worked at Steve's before it closed. Great times.
