| 4141 | Article | DirtyD79 | Me and my brother went through the ninja phase too. I remember when we were teenagers we got some swords and knives at this one flea market up the street from us. I also remember for Halloween in 5th grade I dressed up as a ninja. I also wanted to take some karate classes but my parents never got around to signing me up. Eventually I became more interested in cars and model building instead. | Sep 21, 2017 |  | |
| 4142 | Article | DirtyD79 | E.T. is the first movie I remember seeing in theaters when I was a kid. Me and my brother went with our grandma to this small single screen theater a few blocks away from our house to see it. I also remember there was a parade outside when we got out. I'm guessing the parade was for Fourth of July or something. We also had the E.T. Atari 2600 game. Surprisngly I actually liked it but then I was a little kid at the time. | Seeing E.T.

| 4184 | Article | DirtyD79 | In the early 2000s Burger King also had chili. I liked it better than Wendy's chili, unfortunately BK ended up dropping it from their line-up some time ago. | Retro Fast Food That is No More | Oct 29, 2017 | |
| 4263 | Article | DirtyD79 | While personally I prefer small mom and pop type place for pizza, I always thought Pizza Hut was the best of the chain pizza shops. I remember we used to have this one pitcher Pizza Hut was giving out as a promotional item. We had it for nearly 10 years and kept on using it for Kool-Aid and iced tea until one day it just got too grungy to keep using. :( I also remember one time when I was a kid my Dad's bowling league did something pretty cool where all of us kids got to take a tour of a pizza hut and make our own small personal pan pizzas. It's such a sin to see the sit down restaurants going away. They had a style all their own and definitely look a lot better than the boring boxes that pass for restaurants these days. | When Pizza Hut Was King | Jan 04, 2018 | |
| 4264 | Article | DirtyD79 | I don't think anybody I know ever played Mouse Trap seriously. Me and my brother always just set up the trap to watch it do all the stuff like in the commercial and after a couple times that just got boring. I forget what we ended up doing with it. It's probably buried in a closet or in the basement somewhere. | Five 90’s Toys That Never Lived Up to the Hype | Jan 04, 2018 | |
| 4265 | Article | DirtyD79 | I still remember the one from the late 70s and early 80s telling you "Don't drown your food." OK, what condiment related disaster was happening on such a scale that it needed a PSA? Were kids injuring themselves with ketchup bottles back then? | Memories of PDFA, and other PSA’s | Jan 04, 2018 | |
| 4266 | Article | DirtyD79 | Hot Wheels and Matchbox were some of my favorite toys as a kid. We had the Hotwheels sto n' go city as well as the construction site. I didn't really have much of a preference for one brand over the other, I pretty much only really cared about what looked cool. | 5 Fun Matchbox Toys | Jan 04, 2018 | |
| 4655 | Article | DirtyD79 | People can make all the noise they want about Amazon but if you really want to see what's killing malls, pay attention the next time you're out driving around. Take a look at how many shopping centers, unattached stores, and strip malls you see. I know going to this one mall near me depending on the route I take I could pass either two or four different shopping centers and several unattached stores on the way there. It kind of defeats the purpose of having a mall. | Mall Memories | Nov 02, 2018 | |
| 2330 | Article | dannyd | Was Chldren's Palace real? I don't know - I never saw one in real life. But, I know that Child World was real - I worked at one from 1986 until they closed for good in 1992. Everything that you said in your post is true - it truly was an amazing store, and even though I'm "all grown up", I still miss it. Getting back to your question again - Was Children's Palace real? Check out a new website that I've been working on, dedicated to Child World | Children's Palace Was Real | Jun 26, 2015 | |
| 2331 | Article | dannyd | I think a spam filter filtered out the website URL - replace the DOT with a . ChildWorld DOT ROCKS or ToysWereUs DOT COM Thanks - I'm hoping to make this a place where we can prove that not only were they real, but they are still alive | Children's Palace Was Real | Jun 26, 2015 | |
