Once again “the earth” is supposedly synonymous with “that one country in North America”…
Yeah, ToysRUs is alive and well in Canada. I have no idea that the bottom-right one is.
It’s a Circuit City.
I bought my first PC’s parts all from TigerDirect’s website. Did a bunch of my research for it using their catalogue.
Nowadays I’m just happy to live an hour from a Microcenter.
The way these buildings were built tell you they weren’t intended to be around for long. Four cinder block walls and a flat metal roof. Cheap to put up, easy to tear down
That’s the Chula Vista toys r us and the San Diego Fry’s. Right?
There is a Toys R Us a few blocks away from me that I used to go to as a kid and it’s wild to me that only in the last year has anything been done to it and all that was done is someone erected a chain link fence around the property to keep people out because it was pretty popular for hooking up and selling drugs given in its in a sparsely populated area and has absolutely no lights around. Like it still has the sign and shit, the building has just sat completely abandoned for over a decade since TRU went bankrupt.
We had Blockbusters and Circuit City and even a Mervyn’s here. The buildings have all been re-used though. Just the TRU and the Orchard Supply next to it have sat unchanged over the years, like ruined relics of the past.
Toys r Us is still going strong in Canada
There’s still one Spencer’s gifts left in my city.
We also just recently got papa John’s but I’m too conflicted to try it
