insaneladybugAn odd addendum to that musing on my love of friendships I created that weren't in canon: I remember I was always that way. Of course, it's normal for kids to do silly, weird things like that. Like, when I was 5/6, I had Boba Fett adopt Kit and Molly from Talespin. Seriously, what? LOL. (He may have also had a romance with Rebecca Cunningham; that, I don't remember.) And I guess I never outgrew that sort of thing. I probably never will.
And I just found out that the Toys R Us that was closest to my old home closed last year. The ShopKo closed this year. Even though we don't live up that way anymore, it was just comforting to know they were there. It was such a nice shopping area with those stores there! People in that area are actually glad the stores are gone. Why? And it sounds like what's replaced the Toys R Us is just a Dee's. Those are everywhere! That's nothing particularly exciting. They're apparently going to build a hotel in the area now too.
If I still lived in that area, I would be totally crushed. As it is, I'm rather disappointed and sad. I was planning to visit that Toys R Us today.
I think Play World used to be in that spot before Toys R Us moved in. Unless that was another Toys R Us, but I really thought it was the one that just closed. I was four or five when Play World closed and I was totally crushed then. I didn't think anything could be good enough to replace it. But then my brother found Toys R Us and loved it and Mom told me about it and I wanted to see it, even though I was skeptical. And I totally fell in love with it. But so yeah, if I'm remembering right, there was a toy store in that spot for over twenty years! (Don't know how long the Play World was there, though.)
Hopefully I'll find some neat stuff at the K-Mart up there. I'm hopeful, since I found awesome stuff at both the K-Mart and the Sears down here. And depending on how things go, maybe I can visit a different Toys R Us. We'll see. Normally I always like to visit the big F.Y.E. when we're out that way, which is maybe once or twice a year, but it isn't really close to where we'll be today, so I'm not sure. There's a smaller one several blocks from where we'll be at one point, but I've never liked that one much.
