I *think* that is a newer, nicer iteration of the original grimy spot.

I’ll never forget going to service merchandise with my grandmother and dreaming of buying one of their crossbows.

I remember going there and my dad bought me a ninja turtle and himself a shotgun
It’s probably selfish but damn I wish I could raise my son in those times

Wasn't ir Wilson's before it was Service Merchandise? I remember Cortana, all the toys/board games up front, then electronics and then jewelry and last, sporting goods. Lots of memories from there.

Tony’s doughnuts were the best. A bag of 6 weighed about 2 lbs

Service Merchandise was the shite, I worked there for a while, it was pretty fun in the warehouse.

tinseltown was such a huge leap forward compared to the other theatres we had then...it was also the spot to go if you were in junior high late 90s early 00s

Hoppers - they had great malts or shakes

Yep, it put Seigan Theater out of business which was the nice theater before Tinseltown. I remember driving to Seigan when the road was 2 lane and steep drop off on both sides while they built the extra lanes.
I also remember trying to sneak a daiquiri into Seigan in the front of my pants while sucking in my stomach. I breathed out and the styrofoam cup busted, spilling strawberry daiquiri down my pants right as we entered the theater. My plan was literally busted.

A modern take on The Real Superstore would be interesting. Seems like it would just be a like a Super Target though.
They were huge, required massive pieces of real estate, and didn’t have super competitive prices. It would have been bought by Kroger or something had they survived.

Yep. And I remember the paint and interior decor being really weird looking. They put the old one across I-10 out of business pretty much.
IIRC, the new theater on Corporate opened, then the Perkins Rowe theater opened then the one on Mall of LA opened, then Tinseltown sort of faded and closed. And that was before the movie theater business had all this natural headwind they have today.
That’s where topgolf is now I think.
Movie theaters used to be sort of expected in big new retail developments. Now they are more rare. People don’t go to the movies that much anymore.
