What store reminds you of your childhood?

[importcrew]

We still have a Family Video in Plainfield

Do they have arcades? That was the only reason why I would go there. Lol

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

I remember Venture, Toys-R-Us, K.B Toys, Funcoland.

This thread hits the nostalgia feels. Every single one of the stores that remind me of my childhood have closed, lol.

-KB Toys and funcoland, of course, which I had honestly forgotten about until the above post !
-A candy store in river oaks mall where i'd always get rock candy, back when river oaks wasn't a ghetto
-MC Sports
-A bike shop in Dyer, Cycle Sports, we'd ride there ALLL the time.
-Toys R Us

That very candy store is why I'm half the glucose I am today..... Used to get white chocolate covered haystacks.

I do not know, but we went somewhat often.

I also miss Century Mall in Merrillville. It had that one place that just did slot car racing.

Zomg

Funcoland I remember getting so many bad games from them. Would've been Sega genesis era

Circuit city

Completely forgot about that place. It's the place I first bought a laptop. It's also the first place I bought an expensive LCD when they were first starting to become mainstream albeit expensive. I would usually always choose Circuit City over Best Buy.

Oh man. The amount of cdr's I bought from CC probably kept them open an entire week longer lololol

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

Barnes and noble...used to buy CD's from there too

This was a good bit on the radio this morning. I definitely remember the Venture on Barrington Road in Streamwood/HP like it was yesterday. Anchor Blue was my everything for clothes in high school.

The Apple Store!

Holy shit does that fucking circle in the front of the store bring back memories!!!!

I remember when Chucky Cheese used to have a show on stage, entertainment for everyone.

Hell, now a days, we are entertained by the actions of other customers.

Pretty sure Spring Hill Mall encompasses basically all of my child hood memories.

All the arcades, shops that have come and gone, conventions they had, etc.

That video game store next to the food area. Demo'ing the Pennzoil GTR when GT3: A-spec got released.

God damn son. Good times.

 

[Mook]

RIGHT!?!?! Omg. When you drove through the tree tunnel and the light came through. I must have played the demo for an hour straight.

 

[Mook]

Was it grand valley?

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

Now we're old and cool stores don't exist anymoar

I want to go slot car racing in century mall

 

[CMNTMXR57]

You still go to chucky cheese?

Yea, and you will too when your newborn gets a few years older.

It actually isn't half-bad pizza. Not anywhere near the best, but surprisingly not bad.

And the last time I was there, they had the stage show, so it still happens. I think it's a scheduled thing.

And yes, I remember when it was showbiz.

BET

The only chucky cheese near my house has a clientele that I have no desire to be around. Lol

Maybe if there were an oakbrook chucky cheese with lambos and audi's in the lot I would consider going, but we will not be going to the one in NWI
