Wasn't the Sprouts a CompUSA at one time??

CompUSA was either where Sprouts or Auto Zone are now.

I was in line at Raising Cain's today and looked over to the empty Bed Bath and Beyond and noticed that it and the former Staples next to it are currently being cleared out. I also noticed that the words 'Hobby Lobby' were spray painted on the front glass panes at BB&B. Anyone know if that's really what is going in at that space?

Yes. I believe that is reported earlier in this thread, or on another one.

Yeah and unless something changed very recently, Hobby Lobby is filling both (BB&B and Staples) spaces.

I'm glad to see the mall doing well. But I will always have memories of the Boar's Head. After the ex-wife left I survived by eating the free buffet there every night.

I have many fond memories of the old mall, especially the theater.

But that was a long, long time ago.

Oh the theater. In like '80 maybe I wired Bill and Barbie Mathes's house. We ran into them at FMM theater and they treated plus took us out for dinner at Pioneer Pies. Funny that my wife was totally speechless that night One of the things I ended up hating about her was the fact she wouldn't shut up. Ever. But not that night. I however am very quiet but I talked my head off because I had seen them every day for weeks.

My wedding reception was at Alberta's Tea Room 27 years ago. We have some great photos with the wrought iron stair case. Remember sneaking down to the bar downstairs with my groomsmen for a groomsmen shot.
