But the Toys 'R' Us is definitely weirder. At least it'll be gone by January?

I never hang out in NoHo anymore now that Tower 4th/Bwy is gone; but when we take a cab down Broadway and pass through that part of the nabe, I can't tell you how depressing it is to see the Toys 'R' Us signs in the windows.

Twenty years. Twenty years of my life I spent hanging out in that Tower. It was, like, the entirety of my post-adolescence (and some pre- too).
