    I'll start:

    Does anyone remember Corn Dog 7? Used to hit those up when I was a kid, they used to be at every mall. I miss that place.

    Pistol Pete's Pizza

    Pizza served on tin foil rather than plates is always better pizza.

    Every time I went there some kid would either ****, piss, or get naked in the tubes or balls. Were you one of those kids?

    And I'll say Oshman's. I wonder why it failed. It was basically the same thing as Academy, but I actually preferred it because it had an indoor basketball court. And even better, a mini-court that I could dunk on. Hell yeah. Long live Oshman's!

    Also... Venture. The K-Mart like department store. I won a one of a kind (supposedly) Street Sharks blue jean jacket in a raffle there. Still the best thing that ever happened to me.

    Also, isn't Oshman's the same place as Sports Authority?

    We have them here in New Mexico but they are combined with Dairy Queen.

    Is the San Francisco Steakhouse still around? The one with the lady on the swing who used to kick the bell on the ceiling?

    I believe there are some Dairy Queens around Houston that sell at least part of the Orange Julius menu.
