My Dad also took other photos around Factoria during the Grand Opening of Mervyn's March 6, 1987. Here are some of the other stores you could shop at Factoria Square March 1987. I wish there were more of these and they were all in sharp focus.
Hot Dog Emporium
Shady Lady
Newport House
Gallery T-Shirts (next to Western Optical)
Oak & Brass
Lamonts
Squire Shop, B Dalton's (?) on the right, Bean Pod center. I can't make out the shops on the left - can anyone remember them?
Maurice's (?), Gussini's(?) Shoes, Oak & Brass, Ralph's(?) Hallmark,

And "Opening Soon"
Claire's Boutiques
Orange Julius

I'd love comments about what other shops you recall about that time.

Mr. Tux was there, down from B.Dalton's!
Right! Thank you, Cailean! I'm sure they had many ads in the Newport High School Yearbooks (and there were probably other Factoria shops that advertised there - a resource I hadn't considered for remembering other stores there . . . )
I worked at Maurice's when I was in 1991 until it closed in January 1992. Never got a paycheck--always had it spent before I got it.
Does anyone remember the store that was over between where Red Robin and the Rack are now? It had all sorts of metal sculptures and quirky stuff. It had a perpetual motion machine that fascinated me. Loved that place.
Thanks for the comment, Coach Anne. I don't remember the store but your description reminds of the metal sculptures that left an impression on me from the way-back Bellevue Arts and Craft Fair at the old Bellevue Square.
