Wes Anderson also used to work at the Dobie. And Dell founded his computer company out of his dorm room in the Dobie.

I remember going to Niki's downstairs for slices before the big food court was built. I remember the drab brown building before the glass facelift. That place is a ghost town now, since I guess, the Student Union food court has blown up.

Inner Sanctum was cool. There was another record store in there too I think during the early 90s. I would also spend a lot time in Technophilia too. Back then, you could buy cool live bootleg cds. I can still remember seeing that neon scissor sign for the hair salon upstairs in the top window that opened and closed, when you approached 24th. It was fun hitting those shops on the way home from campus. Good times....

That'd be great, but no. Anyway, here's a pic of it!
