BoddaH1994 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 On the left side of International Street, there is a new store called "I Love the 80s." It's actually a really neat concept. They have a lot of things that I didn't even know you could get anymore. Things like board games vintage board games that were popular in the 80s and vintage t-shirts adorn the walls. There are also a fair share of Rubiks Cubes and other novelties. Definitely worth checking out!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 It's been mentioned in MANY trip reports. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 Trip reports don't count. I think this deserves its own topic. The idea, by the way, was dreamed up in house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarPointer Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 This is the third time I've seen them reuse that rubiks cube prop from Flashback Totally 80's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIBOB Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Just out of curiosity, what previous shop has this replaced, or was it worked in to another existing shop? The only three that I can think of on the left side of International Street are Emporium, Thrill Seekers, and Thrill Seekers Jr. (which seems kind of silly to me). Although I was born in the 90's, I sure can't wait to check this place out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I believe it replaced Thrill Seekers Jr. (or whatever it was called) based on my quick glances over there from the opposite side of IS. I did not go down the north side of IS on opening day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB1 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Dont forget the ATARI arcade games! Refer to BB1 opening day TR for more information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 I loved the vintage t's. But no Ed Alonzo shirts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjkjkj Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 It's such a cool store! Their selection of "wayfarer" style sunglasses was awesome. I loved all the t-shirts. I have a feeling I am going to end up spending a lot of money in that store! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I want to see a 60's store so I can buy a super ball, which I loved to bounce high in the air. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 I want to see a 60's store so I can buy a super ball, which I loved to bounce high in the air. You won't be finding any super balls in the 80s store. That term meant something else in the 80s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DegenRider Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 So was this dreamed up while watching VH1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muppetfan1999 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Was it just me or were they not selling the regular Rubiks Cube? I saw a "Rubiks Twist" and a Rubiks Cube that had silver foil sides but I didn't see any of the regular colored cubes. Weird huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
standbyme Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Trip reports don't count. Sadly, on this board I think a lot of people agree with this statement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 How many users here were able to solve the Rubik's Cube? I solved it. I still have my keychain with a Rubik's Cube attached that I received from FedEx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD Reynolds Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I solved it by disassembling it, then putting it back together. Does that count? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 ^ It's much easier to peel off the stickers and reapply. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Once I solved a cube and these fine folks showed up: I haven't felt the same since. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbt Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 The Galaga arcade has already consumed my quarters, with more on the way. The hi-score was glitched. Wouldn't mind if the whole store was filled with 80s games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 My dad had a book on solving the thing (The Simple Solution to Rubik's Cube by James G. Nourse - long out of print, but available on Amazon really cheap), so I often solved it that way, but I can definitely recall peeling the stickers off or taking it apart and re-assembling it to solve it as well. For me though, it was more fun either messing it up and seeing how long it took my dad to solve it, or making silly patterns with it (crosses, stripes, checkerboard, etc.).

KI-ORIG-EMP Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I invested lots of quarters while playing Zaxxon, which I was addicted to playing. Another game I loved to play was Glaxian an Galaga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlafraid Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I'd love to see the vintage boards games next time someone is up and could snap a sneaky snap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldieButGoodie Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 We looked through, and they def had some great T-shirts, but the prices were out there. We'll have to go back though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdime Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Was it just me or were they not selling the regular Rubiks Cube? I saw a "Rubiks Twist" and a Rubiks Cube that had silver foil sides but I didn't see any of the regular colored cubes. Weird huh? There are 3 styles of the Rubik's cube, including the original.

RD Reynolds Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Was able to go in yesterday, and it was great. First thing we did, in fact. Loved all the shirts, and the arcade games were cool...even if neither of them were from the 80's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
