The HIP Blog is Finally Here!

Welcome one and all to the unofficial Harlem Irving Plaza (HIP) Blog! This blog / publication / forum has been created for information, education, and entertainment purposes only. The whole idea behind the "HIP Blog" is to present the long history of the Harlem Irving Plaza, show appreciation for the HIP, enjoy HIP related nostalgia, and discuss the quality of life in the HIP mall community past tense and present.

The HIP Blog will go above and beyond within reason to bring you current news & events at the HIP, with discussion of all HIP related topics to the best of all possible quality according to available information / details.

See the disclaimer / legal page here for all the usual boring junk that has to be said.

The HIP Blog is a family friendly site that wants to bring everyone the best possible experience when it comes to enjoying the legendary Harlem Irving Plaza. Due to the huge volumes of blog comments, e-mail, and possible media attention that the HIP Blog can expect; HIP-Blogger is anonymous. HIP-Blogger is without race, religion, skin color, gender, or political preference/identity.

This can also be rooted in the fact that the HIP has always served people across the spans of generations. Early morning walks for senior citizens have been the norm forever at the HIP. Crowds of parents and young people from across the human experience frequent the HIP. You can accurately say that the HIP has become a mix of positive things to the community besides just a local retail giant: A defacto social and activity center, cooling center, warming center, educational partner to local schools, and an overall community safe haven.

Everything a human being could ever need is found at the HIP. That's the way our HIP was designed. Notice the change now between usage of language from "the HIP" to "OUR HIP"? That is because when people are together outside the mall and are heading that way to enjoy their day, they have always said "Let's go to the HIP!!" Once HIP guests arrive, it becomes "OUR HIP" because that is where people have traditionally come together. In THAT specific essence, it becomes OUR HIP.

From 1956 to the current day, our HIP has been more than just a local retail giant! Our HIP has become a tradition happily ingrained into the community. Please visit this site often and enjoy it for whatever it offers you. Welcome to the HIP Blog!
