I really loved KB Toys growing up. -- nm - David Mar 5, 09:03
generally speaking, I would say I miss the experience of music stores and movie rental stores. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 5, 09:02
I miss Sam the Record Man (as a substitute for Tower Records) and Radio Shack -- nm - zork Mar 5, 08:56
Also, I'd take Caldor over Ames. I did love Kay Bee as a kid, but loathed it as an adult. -- nm - ty97 Mar 5, 08:55
Moviefone? How old is this author? -- nm - ty97 Mar 5, 08:55 2
- Moviefone was it before the internet. We used to have a local video rental guy who stored all the VHS tapes in a van and delivered/picked up. -- nm - Max Mar 5, 09:03
- Do you remember that Seinfeld clip? Press 1 for Yes -- nm - zork Mar 5, 08:57
