Join us as we explore our old Ames department store! Contributing writer Luke Worle and I infiltrated in a torrential downpour. This location was once a Hills, and has been closed since around 1999. The place is host to a lot of memories. I didn't mention it in the video, but I test drove PlayStation games on their demo kiosk, and once I bought a really ugly tie here. Also, a bikini girl air freshener.
When I was about eleven, I saw a row of My Buddy dolls in storage along the ceiling of the store, and I could swear they were all watching me like they were Chucky dolls! It was legit terrifying.
When this store was a Hills, I was a huge Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan. My parents bought me Krang's Android Body from there. Here I am below, opening it up on my eleventh birthday in 1991. I still have the toy, along with the Technodrome, Party Wagon and more TMNT stuff. It's all in this blog article.
This urban exploration is a special Retro Injection entry, so let's jump right into the odyssey.
