I can’t believe they went out of business in ‘97. Fuck I’m getting old.

This shit gets me all the time… '97 is 27 years ago. 27. Checks math, yes… 27. Surely not? Feels like it’s 10 years or so. Checks math… no, 27.

It didn’t go out of business in '97, I was 1000% there for a birthday party in 2000 or 2001. It seems the company went bankrupt in 1997, and the assets were sold multiple times over the years. Locations stayed open, and, according to Google at least, there seems to be at least a couple left in Ohio, and California?

Either way, this took me down a nice nostalgia hole, very nice.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it’s too interesting, it doesn’t belong. If it’s not interesting, it doesn’t belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh… what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don’t spam.
