This goofy ass restaurant that served the food to your table on model trains: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKoCam8WqC4

RIP, their food was probably just OK but I was a little kid so it was all totally amazing.

As a bonus, the very end of this video has one of the old Seattle trolleys, which also aren't around anymore.

A skatepark near me. Don't know the story behind it being closed.

Soviet Union. Not necessarily a bad thing, but there is some nostalgia...

As soon as I read this, the song started playing automatically in my head. Along with most of the visual sequences, and Richard Dean Anderson’s smile.

The farm I grew up on. They flattened this HUGE hill to do it as well. They removed a creek, natural lake, and tons of forest. For a flat, treeless, subdivision.

Depressing, I’m sorry you had to see that happen.Theres is something about never wanting the place you grew up to never change.

Two big ones for me:
1- a local arcade. Spent so many summer days there with friends. TMNT, Street fighter, Mortal Kombat, etc etc etc.
2- laser quest! Lots of birthday parties there.

taurentipper,

Arcades were the promised land

The mall. Technically it's still there, but it's a shell of its former self.

RupeThereItIs,

The mall I used to ride my bike to as a child, where my favorite Arcade (Aladdin's Castle) & had a toy store (K.B. Toys) was leveled to the ground about 20 years ago, with the exception of like two restaurants at the corner of the building.

It's now some fake ass 'downtown' like outdoor mall, in Michigan, with terrible parking & it's just gross.

I miss Meadowbrook Mall, man, I miss it a lot.

I was gonna say "The Arcade" but you made me remember the entire mall it resided in got blown up.

Town centers and outdoor outlet centers are just malls, but worse. No AC, fewer small businesses somehow, parking shoved in between the stores, and (in the town centers) half-assed (at best) mixed use.

For all of their many, many flaws, a lot of malls actually fell backwards into accidentally doing some interesting things in terms of being community spaces.

I used to go on holiday every year in a cottage on the cliffs near East Yorkshire, UK. In about 1998 it was condemned so we moved to holiday park just up the coast.in about 2014 some big storms happened and we came back and all the homes on the whole seaward side of the road were gone and the old inlandside were now clifftop with a new road behind

Zaneak, in How do you stay interested in something for a long time?

My only game I think on steam with over 1000 hours is one I have played on and off with friends over the years. For the other examples, I can't say I have done those, but if I get hooked on something, I just kind of lose track of time and dont really pay attention to how much I am putting into it.

The World Of Sid And Marty Krofft in Atlanta. It was a mindfuck of an indoor amusement park located in what's now CNN Center. Granted, it was only open for six months in 1976, but I was able to go, and as a six year-old kid, it was amazing.

House MD (with Hugh Laurie) there were two cuts of the opening theme depending what region it was teardrop by massive attack or bab O'Reily by the who. And then often closing to "can't always get what you want" by rolling stones
