| 5430 | Article | onipar | I actually never purchased or owned one, but I am discovering tons of GBA games right now on an emulation handheld. Some great stuff they made for the system. | Jun 04, 2021 |  | |
| 5431 | Article | Mr Magic | My parents gave me an SP for Christmas in 2004. I had old-school games like Castlevania, Donkey Kong and a Namco collection. I also had Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga and a couple of Pokemon games. | The Game Boy Advance Launch | Jun 04, 2021 | |
| 5432 | Article | Vaporman87 | That sounds like a great place for some learning and adventure. I wish we had something even remotely close to this nearby. | Homesick: Rochester Museum and Science Center | Jun 08, 2021 | |
| 5435 | Article | Vaporman87 | I wish I could say I had a "corner store" nearby growing up. But I did not. I lived at the top of a hill on a dead-end road. The only thing nearby was the skating rink. But after college and a few years of working in the family business, I moved to Rutland and here we had a real, functioning department store. It carried about anything you could want... groceries, tools, had a deli... it was pretty great. It had been open for more than 100 years when it finally closed (thanks to slowing sales and the appearance of not one, but two new dollar stores... Dollar General and Family Dollar). I won't forget that old-timey feel of the interior of the store. I had heard tales of people 40 or 50 years ago bringing in their grocery lists, and clerks going around picking out the items listed for the customer. There was at one time a bank in the store, and the old vault remained there (becoming a little back office of sorts). And hey... it's where I first found Dutch and Hamato, so... there's that. LOL <p><img alt="" height="261" src="http://retro-daze.org/upload/web1_Rutland-Department-Store-Coleman2017112413522261.jpg" width="400" /></p> | The Corner Store | Jun 08, 2021 | |
| 5436 | Article | onipar | I hear ya. Once I moved the PA, I didn't really have the "Corner Store" experience any more. Town was close to five miles away, which we did attempt on our bikes now and then, but it was a bit of a ride. And there was this tiny shop much closer, but it was on a "couples resort" that we were technically not allowed to patronize...though we did on occasion. Fun fact, those pictures on the Milk Inn were from moving day in 1993 (from Brooklyn to PA). That department store sounds amazing though! I kinda missed out on the more "old timey" sorts of stores like that. | The Corner Store | Jun 09, 2021 | |
| 5437 | Article | onipar | Sounds cool! I used to love going to places like that too. My school used to take us on tons of field trips to museums, zoos, and stuff like that. | Homesick: Rochester Museum and Science Center | Jun 09, 2021 | |
| 5438 | Article | vkimo | Where in PA do you live? I moved here from California and there's not really any corner stores. Back in Cali we had one right up the street called Frank's - It was always a treat making the 2 block journey to it and scoring some candy. | The Corner Store | Jun 09, 2021 | |
| 5439 | Article | Benjanime | there's a couple of stores like those in chesapeake, virginia but boy howdy is that area of virginia ever a craphole. i've heard since the past couple of decades that many stores had to get closed down due to robberies. | The Corner Store | Jun 10, 2021 | |
| 5440 | Article | Benjanime | it's unfortunate that school field trips weren't as often as we'd hoped when we were younger, well, at least for me anyway. i suppose it had to do with the schools asking parents for the required money but even so just going on one felt like an adventure. | Homesick: Rochester Museum and Science Center | Jun 10, 2021 | |
| 5441 | Article | onipar | @vkimo: NEPA, Pocono Mountain region. Yeah, where I moved to is much more sprawled out with nothing super "local" for kids. Not like running across the street in Brooklyn. :-p @Benjanime, Oof that stinks, sorry to hear it. | The Corner Store | Jun 10, 2021 | |
