4. There Was No Starcourt Mall
Do you know the mall where all of the kids in Stranger Things liked to hang out? It didn’t exist. Malls were not built by small towns in the middle of nowhere in Indiana. The whole state probably had only a handful of malls at the time, and they were probably only in the biggest cities.
The creators of Stranger Things actually filmed the scenes at the Starcourt Mall in a dead mall on the outskirts of Atlanta. The place hadn’t been used in years, so it looked close enough to what malls might have looked like in the 1980s if they even existed.
