I used to go to Q-ZAR all the time as a kid! Loved that place, I think I once had a birthday party there.

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.

Looks like the is a random one in Concord CA that survives. And it scored the domain name after the parent went bust.

Hell, if it’s actually defunct it’s probably worth more than 25 cents as memorabilia.

Hell yeah! Yours looks even better than the picture so you could probably get 2 or even 3 dollars for it!

What if I give you a 1/3rd of the sale and you come on as my financial advisor?

The way you phrased that reminded me of “a school for ants” from Zoolander.

A few years ago I got a Japanese one yen back as change. Needless to say I don’t live in Japan.

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.
