Request: Pictures or videos of the San Diego Fry’s Electronics from 2008 or earlier. For nostalgia therapy
Hey folks,
Given the recent state of the world, nostalgia is the strongest medicine for me. So I’m asking, if you have any pictures or videos you’d like to share of the interior of the San Diego Fry’s Electronics from around 2008 or earlier, please share them!
Nothing is too mundane, it could be of anything:
- Random items on a shelf
- The massive aisles
- The tiny food court
- The single queue checkout line (which I felt was faster than the usual multiple lines in other stores)
Even exterior photos of the Fry’s are good too. Especially Black Friday or midnight launch lines.
I have a lot of fond memories of being in this Fry’s. I’m a first generation immigrant, so I wasn’t really close with my parents. I spoke mostly English and adopted American culture rather than my own. But I bonded with my dad through our interest in games and technology from shopping at this Fry’s.
It was also the last few years of me experiencing corporate monoculture, before smartphones became ubiquitous and everyone wandered off into their own corner of the Internet and interests. I miss running into people I knew at this Fry’s when a big game or piece of electronics just came out.
If you have any stories to go with your videos or photos, I’d like to read about them too.
Thanks!
