[CashmereThoughts]

Unless my memory is just that bad where in NYC were these? Born in 96 and lived in NYC nearly all my life and I don't recall this this store at all.

they were in every borough, here's an article about some that closed in 2002. https://www.qchron.com/editions/nor...cle_b987cfa1-dbc8-534f-b9c9-41f16553acf6.html

the final closures were after that though

Remember all those ads bigging up upstate NY and the Poconos? Had me wanting to ski and shyt as a kid

I went! Still got the pics. We stayed at a lodge and went to the sauna. I ski'ed, but then somehow I ended up on the 'real skiing' slopes and had to flag one of them lil helpers on the snowmobile to get me up out of there! Had me a nice a hot chocolate while I waited for everybody to come back. They was like, what happened to you?!? I was chilling, that's what happened.

Ya'll remember Woolworth and Reds?

A pigeon shat on my mother outside the Woolworths on 125th st. Everybody was like, 'ooooh, that's good luck!'

One was across the street from Kings Plaza. My parents bought an RCA TV from there in the early 2000s.

Fam used to vacation up there. One year we got a Cabin it was me and my brother and my God sister. I just remembered thinking why the fukk am I up here in all this snow. I was like 10 or 11 at the time. We spent most of the weekend playing the old Gameboy and Game gear.

That old wives tale. I used to go to the one out in in Mill Basin ( I was living out there when I was a kid.) I remember the day the started locking away all the video games and action figures cause people was robbing them.
