Wow. Core memories unlocked

Well, I wanted to buy some, but I never had enough money.

One day I'll save enough to afford those obnoxious pants with all the chains and stuff

Gotta find all the bikini posters

The art of making sure to linger just long enough to seem like you were casually enjoying them on the same level as the Green Day poster, without lingering so long as to raise suspicion...

A man of culture I see

That one black and white photo of two women wearing white shirts and panties in bed kissing

This is where we went to look at Memes before there were memes.

We had to walk past all the bongs, 'tobacco' pipes, doc Martens, and band t-shirts to get to the posters.

Sounds like Spencers. I looked back at my elementary and middle school pictures and I was always wearing some shirt from there.

We had a Camelot where I grew up, but I was top young to really appreciate it at the time

It's still around. There's one in a mall near me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same, actually, but do you remember it? What a place back in the day

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Oh yeah, it definitely isn't as good as it used to be.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Spacing all of the posters out perfectly just to then push them all to one side and hearing the frames hit each other.

POV: you're 37 and spend 3 hours looking at memes, but don't print any.

It was our form of a museum, growing up

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Indo that when I visit record stores! Especially with CD stores.

What was the name of that posters store? (mostly 1990s). Man, I bought like 5 posters there.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Spencer's? It had a spot for posters, but it wasn't really a poster store.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

There’s still a Spencer’s at the mall near me (Dulles, VA)

Why do this when I can go to the book store and casually hide a bikini magazine inside another more-legitimate book/magazine?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Other places that had this were Media Play and FYE.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I think one was Spencers.
