They were always 3rd in line for RPG stuff after B. Dalton and the toy store. I always felt like they were watching right over my shoulder when I shopped there, and there was a really creepy woman who used to follow everyone around and offer her opinions on whatever you were trying to look at. It was always a pain to look for RPG stuff, because it was tucked way in the back corner and usually had lots of boxes piled in front of it. When they finally went out of business, they had a huge blowout sale and somewhere came up with lots of old wargames, rpgs, and books that were on a big clearance. I ended up buying a bunch of games & books that I still haven't played or read, just because they were so cheap. Speaking of Book & Record and the Orange Plaza, does anyone remember the guy who used to hang out in front of B&R or CVS all the time? I always thought he looked like Gene Simmons from KISS. Tall and thin, long black hair, black jeans, black leather jacket with a "Choose Death" patch on the back. He hung out there for YEARS! I guess today he would be considered goth, but when I was 12 he scared me. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /> Years later when I was in college I ended up friends with his girlfriend, but by then he was hanging out at the new Galleria mall down the road. Found out he was in a death metal band called Bent Sirkis (<a href="http://www.pablochang.com/picts/gallery/00000585_lrg.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.pablochang.com/picts/gallery/00000585_lrg.jpg</a>).Ah, memories...</blockquote>
