3 Shopping A Necessity of Life Just ask anyone, what is your favorite pastime? More than likely, the same answer will be given - shopping, of course! Area residents could always be seen heading to area stores or to the Mall to "get just a few things." Needless to say, a quick trip often turned into a major expedition. The Huntington Mall was a frequented place for Huntington residents and Marshall students alike. It offered shoppers just about anything they could ask for under one roof. o matter whether it was a pair of shoes or a bottle of vitamins, it could be found at the Mall. Many, however, preferred the peaceful, serene atmosphere of the downtown area. The stores were located in buildings which added a touch of years gone.by. o matter what the location or the reason, most people considered shopping to be their favorite hobby. ot only does the Huntington Mall provide a variety of department and clothing stores, but there are also various fast food restaurants available. 228 City

6 Any time of year, Huntington brims with activity. In the day, shopping draws people from surrounding areas and from other cities in Southern West Virginia. And the sites of downtown, as usual, are filled with the charm of the old buildings from the turn of the century as well as elegant new buildings like the Radisson Hotel. At night, the attraction is restaurants, nightclubs and the simple beauty of the city. Citizens, as well as residents of neighboring towns, visit the city to shop, meet new people and enjoy the atmosphere. Mass transit is the travel option for many who want to sightsee. City 231

12 City Buildings If the city of Huntington is known for one thing, it must be the quaint 1900 look of the buildings. Many were erected in the era of Collis P. Huntington, a millionaire partly responsible for the transcontinental railroad. The buildings provide the look and feel of the "olden days," much to the pleasure of those who live in and visit the city. The textures and shapes of buildings provide interesting visuals to shoppers. City 237

15 A dedication As with most special projects in all disciplines, the time spent and energy exerted to produce this book brought the staff very close together. Many weekends the staff spent long evenings - sometimes entire nights - putting together page aher page of pictures and copy. We are grateful for the long hours spent working on this book because it gave us the opportunity to know Anita Kniceley, a very special person. Anita was People editor of this book, a Parthenon staff writer, a dedicated worker and an excellent student. She was killed January 14, 1988, in a car accident not far from her home in Braxton County. As we completed this book we realized how much a part of this project Anita was and how much we truly miss her. But Anita is not the only important person lost during the year. Many in the Marshall community experienced great personal losses - of husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, friends. The Chief Justice of the academic year is dedicated to those we all have lost.... from the staff Editor Lee Smith Chief Photographer Mark Czewski Editorial assistants...
