I remember getting my first Ghostbuster toy at Hills. Peter was the first Ghostbuster my dad ever bought me. I still remember being there trying to choose between Winston and Peter. Hills Dept Store was awesome. I miss that store!

Hills was the very fist place I drove to when I was 16. I remember buying a bunch of R rated movies there to because they didn't care about IDs back then!

I use to love getting there because our local Hills always gave kids a free cup of pop-corn and they had the best pop-corn ever!

I have a lot of memories from that store. Our Hills store is now a Dicks. It is also said to be haunted by a blonde woman.

A lot of the Hills stores used to be called Gold Circle. I remember those.

Hills was cool though.

I up there last month saw it was empty! I am surprised the Woodville mall is still kicking. That place has been on life support since the early 90's!

That's the one I remember. Was Hills, then Ames, then Steve and Barry's. Not sure what it is now.

Grew up going to the Hills on top of the hill in Warren. They used to shoot off the 4th of July fireworks there too.
