Still exists. It's across from Town Centre in the same shopping center as Goodwood Hardware, right next door to Cafe Americain.

Yeah, it used to be back by the old Great Wall where Wal-Mart is now. Still open in the Goodwood Hardware shopping center.

When I was a kid, my parents used to take us to this pizza place with a lot of cool arcade games and a big projector screen on Florida near Monticello.

Of course, I remember buying the clothes for my first homecoming dance at the old department store on Florida downtown. I think it had turned into a Maison Blanche at that point, but I forget the original name. They used to have a Santa display on the roof during Christmas.

I also remember going to a my first outdoor concert on a vacant parking lot where the Shaw Center is downtown now. Better than Ezra.
