I Don’t Want To Grow Up....

I am a giant kid still...even at 38 years old. I’ve always loved toys and games so naturally I spent a ton of time at Toys R Us growing up. That’s why seeing this photo hits me in the feels. 

Toys R Us lost to technology and to being unable to adapt in an ever growing and ever changing world....sad to say but it kinda was time. I get it. Still doesn’t change the fact that this once giant that brought smiles to people everywhere, is now a thing of the past to join other once behemoths that ruled in their day such as Radio Shack, Blockbuster Video, Tower Records, Woolworth, & so many others. 

Thanks for the memories Geoffrey!

I checked out a location near me as the clearances started. I hadn’t been inside one in many many years. The format of the stores had really changed from what I recalled in my youth, so it just didn’t bring back the feelings I expected. Perhaps it’s just the filter of childhood memory making it seem better in the past!

Yeah, over the years it became more obsolete. I rarely purchased anything there in the last decade or so it’s more menories from childhood.

My first job was at a Blockbuster Video. I can’t believe I got paid to work at a place that not only went out of business, but also became completely obsolete!

Isn’t it crazy?!?  That place was THE PLACE to be on a weekend night. Snagging a movie was a family and or friend thing. Packed isles...

Nuts how just a little bit of time goes by and so much changes.
