    Haven't gone through the entire thread, but my contributions:

    Squeeze Play -- crappy comic/card shop next to Strawberry Park. Used to spend wayy too much time in there as a kid.

    Patu -- Thai spot in the village. Big pre-party dinner spot.

    Shipley's on Kirby -- "Only X more hours til Shipley's opens" was a common phrase in college.

    W.O.W. I bet we ran into each other a lot. In between spending all day skating at the park we'd hang out there all of the time. Insane memory there for some reason.

    Many fond memories of playing games at Aladdin's Castle before seeing a movie at the General Cinema at Willowbrook.

    Also...Panjo's Pizza and Games People Play were the backdrop of my childhood. Damn I miss those places.
