Today, Old Town Square is a must-visit destination in downtown Fort Collins, but bringing the vision to life wasn’t a walk in the park in the midst of the Savings and Loan crisis that struck a similar note to the current economic downturn. In fact, Stoner comments that the crisis was what he remembers most about the 80s. The Coloradoan created a timeline of the history of Old Town Square and also spoke to the developer Gene Mitchell about the challenges of bringing the vision to life.

 Bringing Back the 1980s

What are your favorite 80’s memories? Believe it or not, I used to perm just my bangs to get the desired height and volume. My favorite accessories? Jelly shoes and my Espirit bag! Stoner says his 80’s favorites include: Footloose, Good Morning Vietnam, Rain Man, Born in the USA, In the Air Tonight and Jump. On Friday he’ll either be sporting an 80’s bowling shirt, or if it still fits, a triple knit three-piece suit he saved from the 80s.

Grab your Trapper Keeper and Boom Box and get down to the square to celebrate this weekend. If you need some help deciding what to wear, here is a list of 80’s fashions to help you pick out your digs.
