Let me guess---Subway got a better crowd? Sheesh. I love a *good* sandwich shop if you can find one.

Toys R Us. So I'm a child of the 60s and we were reminiscing about Toys R Us the other day when the announcement was made. In the late 60s, that store was THE place to shop. It was much bigger than it is now. I guess people's way they want to shop has even changed for children. I know it's much easier these days to order something from Amazon, especially a toy or a game, or run into Target, but to walk into a store 100% dedicated to toys and just browse every toy imaginable was like my BEST DAY as a young child!

How can you order something from Amazon if you don't know it exists?

There were just toys for miles in there.

I felt like when they changed the store's format to sell clothes and other things and reduce the toys, well, it was downhill from there. But I'm sure they were already struggling when they made that change.
