BACK TO 1985 — The 80s Warm Nostalgia 🌇 Vaporwave Chillwave Retrowave Mix
(The Highland Strip in the early ’80s—big hair on the sidewalk, neon signs glowing brighter than ever, and the synth-heavy soundtrack of Memphis youth pouring out of record shops and video arcades.

From denim jackets to acid-washed jeans, from the latest hits to the Highland Cue, this stretch was more than a street, it was a scene. Students, locals, and musicians all crossed paths here, chasing the new sound, the perfect style, and a late-night bite.

McLaurine’s Bakery remained a sweet staple for the east side, Fletcher’s and Normal drugstores kept their soda fountains buzzing, and if you needed a hammer, Morris Hardware was still right there. It was the kind of strip where you could shop, eat, play, and people-watch all day.

As the decade rolled on, the Strip began to change, but for those who walked it in its prime, the memories run deep: new wave beats, arcade lights, and that feeling that Memphis was always alive.)
