Seeing these photos was a trip down memory lane. The Mall was such an important part of our lives back then. We would go there to shop, eat, see a movie, and just kill time. I took you boys there in strollers and all the way till you were big guys going off on your own. All you needed me for was money and a taxi service. Thanks for the memories.
Hate to say that I get all mushy thinking about a mall but my mother still tells the story of how she and her friend "Cookie" dressed in their best heels and pearls, put us kids in our jackets and bowties and took us to this new phenomenon that today we take so much for granted. To me, the aviary, the three strange stone statues (one was a turtle) down at the end that we would climb over and the "amusement park" with rides are still some of my fondest memories that "kids these days" just can't understand. Thanks for these photos.
Hello Mr. Altobelli,
Thanks for putting up the old Cherry Hill Mall postcards on the Web.
I grew up in Merchantville in the ‘60s and ‘70s and those views of the Mall brought me back to those times with a startling immediacy.
Wow.

Awesome postcards! Thanks for posting. These were the exact memories I was trying to pull out of my brain. I especially remember the dual level water fountain with the really tall jet of water from the higher level. I was taken there regularly as a kid in the late 60's and early 70's.
These pics bring back so many memories for me , I grew up across the street from the mall in the 60s and I hung out there daily in the 70s at the Boardwalk Arcade and Went to see Rocky Horror at 12 am at the Cinema on the weekends .
Thanks for posting those pics .
Just passing through. Thank you so much for your postcards of the cherry hill mall. I was there almost weekly in the 1960's. The restaurant that many people ask about (attached to Woolworth's) was called "Harvest House" (actually called a cafeteria). They also had live orchestral music in the main court during their summer concert series. My wife has vacation this month, and we are planning to return to the Cherry Hill mall as a stop, thanks to your web page.
The Cherry Hill Mall was the first thing I remember when my parents and I moved to South Jersey when I was 5 in 1965. I'll always remember the spectacular Christmas decorations, the orchestra concerts in the summer, the ice shows and the "It's A Small World" animated display. It's breaking my heart to see them tearing it all down to make way for the new mall. It'll never be as great as the mall I remember. Thanks for the memories.
Hi there. My parents took my brother and myself on annual trips each May to Eastern USA in the late 60s when I was around 11 years old. We're from Surrey in England and Cherry Hill Mall was just the most exciting place I had ever visited. I was totally overwhelmed by the fountains and indoor plants, the weird shop selling wind chimes and exotic fragrances, the late night opening; the sheer size. Towns in Surrey at that time just had basic shops strung along high streets. Shopping centers we're not even a twinkling in town planners' eyes. Thank you for putting up the postcards! Takes me back.
These pics bring back so many happy memories of growing up in Cherry Hill and going to school there in the 60s. Does anybody have floor plans of the mall when it opened, or at some time in the later 60s?
These are just great. I remember going to the CHM when I was little and going into the Woolworth's to buy supplies for my fishtank.
So many good memories from viewing these vintage PC's. Being raised in South Jersey, I fondly remember the talking parrot who said "Hello" on his perch in front of Bamberger's. The antique shows conducted by Ethel Smith of Woodbury, that my grandparents, antique dealers Mary and Samuel Ward did on the court in front of Strawbidges. The "Sign of St. Georges" antique shop on the side corridor and buying Bing & Grondahl Christmas Plates at Jewelry Store on the court. Those were the days of the great Philadelphia department stores.
