LOL Blockbuster will forever hold a place in my heart. I met my wife there in 2006 on our first date and we rented The Departed. We got Chinese take out and watched it at her place. I slept on her couch, and returned it the next day. Now we have been married for 8 years and have 2 kids.

So, the lesson is this. If Kmart buys you, you're dead.

I miss Circuit City and Borders. There was a Borders and Waldenbook in my local mall and I went into Circuit City once that I can I remember. I vaguely remember the inside and I got one or two PS2 games

Awesome. Great video. For me, Kiddie City or bet yet, Playworld will always be the best one. Too bad I only got to go only once after asking my parents to take me there too many times before. RIP, Playworld.

I will forever miss these places--well except for Sears. But Blockbuster, Circuit City, Borders, and Radio Shack--definitely miss forever.

I can’t tell you how much I miss Borders. My grandma would give me Borders gift cards every Christmas, and every football season my dad and I would kill time in the first-ever Borders store in Ann Arbor, MI before the games.

Now, do this one with Toys R us and Sears on the list.

I purchased I Pioneer sound system complete with XM receiver at Circuit City, and had it installed in my then Ford pickup there. It was a nice system. The main unit was ripped out of my dash several months later, and that was an insurance claim. Also, I enjoyed Border's in Colleyville, TX. It sucked when that chain closed. They had an excellent coffee ice cream shake. I miss that most of all.

Ironically K-Mart shut down a ton of stores and Sports Authority shut down completely in 2016 followed by Toys R Us recently
