Places you went to when you were younger but they are long gone.

Don't know about other places, but Farrell's has returned to Southern CA. The one by me is MUCH smaller than the one I would go to after all the HS football games, and my kids have not been there when someone has ordered a Zoo or eaten a Trough.

I miss the original Knott's Berry Farm. The Ghost Town is the original. It was built to keep the kids entertained while families waited in line for what seemed forever to eat at the Chicken House. It was free, the only ride was the stage coach ride which managed to get robbed every time it went out, there was always a gunfight in the middle of the street. Today, it is just a Western Themed Disneyland.

I totally miss Opryland--Screamin' Delta Demon, Chaos.... such great rides and a beautifully landscaped park.

I, too, have happy memories of Opryland and Astroworld!

I miss Rich's Department stores in Atlanta and Marshall Field's in Chicago!!

Sea World- Ohio.
Why did they ever think it was a good idea to put a Sea World in northern Ohio where it could only be open 3 months out of the year?!

Not that I particularly liked it, but does Underground Atlanta still exist?

Me too! That's actually my family, way back on my father's side.

Their bakery used to have these delicious smiley face sugar cookies.

I remember that. My husband took me there a year or two before it closed. I thought the same thing why Sea World would be near Cleveland.

Yes it does...but it's become kinda shady now. (That's what I've heard...I never went in the 2 years I lived in Atlanta).

Mr. Gatti's (arcade/pizza place) and Skate City (local skate rink)

[Sister Havana]

YES! Marshall Fields. SO much better than Macy's.

Kroch's and Brentano's and Crown Books - two of my most missed bookstores. And Borders. I always preferred it to Barnes and Noble.

For those from the Chicago area, check out Craig's Lost Chicago. Talk about bringing back the memories!

[Sister Havana]

And a few NYC places I loved that are no longer there...

Love Saves the Day
Tower Records/Tower Records Annex (the clearance outlet behind the main store in the East Village)/Tower Books
Dojo
Around the Clock
Barnes & Noble Annex (clearance outlet)
Daffy's
Stage Deli
Confetti Pasta
Tavern on the Green
