Children's Palace by Cortana. That place was like toys r us on steroids when I was a kid. Hoppers on Florida near airline. And of course K&B. I remember the ones on millerville and florida@sherwood very well. I will always remember those fanned out yellow/orange fluorescent lights right outside the door. Also, Delchamps on millerville next to the K&B.

Alfalfa video millerville @ Harrell's Ferry. They had that fun hallway in the back with the electricity ball and other cool items.

man I have been wracking my brain trying to remember the name of that place. I remember there was a damn riot every time the hit fried chicken came around on the wheel!


We've talked about it here before. I was barely 7 yrs old and remember it well. I could still picture the walls and the buffet and ice cream machine.

Alfalfa Video! I remember that they had a cat.

And Delchamps. I used to go there every day to rent cheap videos. They got shut down with no warning one day after Delchamps declared bankruptcy and I got to keep my videos forever.

Yes. There was a slick track, and an RC Store and Track named Loupe's. Used to race there.

I remember walking in Howard Brothers with my dad and him buying me a 20 gauge and he got a 30.06 and a .357 all at once and nobody blinked an eye and didn't have to be escorted out the door. Good times
