Stressed Gen Z 19 year old college freshman goes to Toys R Us.
Forever a Toys R Us Kid. Born in 2007. Registered at Babies R Us when born. Original nursery babies r us furniture. Walked around the isles as a kid, taking in all the magic.
So, I've gotten around nostalgia lately, watching abandoned videos and such. College is so freaking stressful , and I just want to just let it all out and be a kid again. Being an adult is hard. I was wondering how my favorite store is doing. I found out that there's a TRU an hour from me. Well, okay.
I took the journey up there. My childhood Tru closed when I was 11 in 2018. I remember very vividly crying at the store closing signs and the empty store. My store was one of those white and rainbow stores, opened in 1995. The store actually stood abandoned for 2 years, the sign was still up and all that! But, it was demolished and was turned into some fast food restaurants.
I got there and immediately saw my favorite giraffe. ITS BEEN 8 YEARS GEOFFREY!!! I took some pictures with him of course, then I bought a lego set I liked and took some pictures of the store itself. It's just a small Macy's one. Nothing real special..
I came on here to share my experience of going to my favorite store after 8 years. I hope y'all like it thank you for reading. I included a picture of my Geoffrey plush and old gift card from my collection as well.
