So I checked with my mom. I don't think we ever had Showbiz in Massachusetts, and if we did, we never went there.
Also, I looked up Showbiz. They bought out Chuck E. Cheese's, and then converted their locations to that brand name. Go figure. |
Yeah, there was just one, in Springfield.

Thanks for all the responses guy and the doc info about Showbiz.
Didn't know so many of you were younger than me, I feel old lol
I casually mentioned this thread to my brother who was born in 1986 and he said he enjoyed the summer of 1995 the best. That was a good year too, I was older but was still into Mortal Kombat 3 in the arcades and Clueless was on the big screen where I took my first date.
I have been looking around the site alot. Love the NES list, was reading the whole thing last night.

Ah well, Springfield is in the western part of the state, which for all intents and purposes doesn't exist, because it's ass far from Boston. There was an awesome meme that went around Facebook around the end of last year that showed how Massachusetts is. Over the entire western part of the state were question marks and it said HERE THERE BE DRAGONS.

| In 1988 we had no music snobs to tell us what to listen to or to pay for our albums, sorry. |
Robert Christgau was writing then.

July of '88.
I turned 7. I remember getting Q*Bert for the Atari 2600, the re-release Atari branded Red Label version which I still have and play to this day. A rubber dinghy, I must have taken that down the swimming hole every day I could, meaning whenever my sister was willing to take me. And getting a bunch of Ghostbusters Toys. The ones that looked like normal people but changed into ghosts/monsters. The Cop, the Old Lady, the Trashman, the Football Player and the VW Beetle car that turned ironically into a Mantis and NOT a beetle.
The photos from that birthday show me clad in a Puma brand belly shirt (much akin to the one Bill wore in the first Bill & Ted movie, but with the Puma logo) Yeah, belly shirts used to be for BOYS for those of you too young to remember.
I'd have to say my best summer was of '93. Kurt Cobain wasn't murdered yet. I was hitting puberty, just getting into music, kissed my first girl, and started just going out by myself and being able to come home when I damn well felt like it.
So that summer might not have an historical value, but to me is was Gold.
Gold, I tell ya Jerry, GOLD!!!

That summer has historical value! It's when I was born!
