Good memories there. I remember going there after seeing TMNT and wanting the ninja shite in the back. I can still see it.

BJ was in great shape. I think he was a bodybuilder.

Web shows them still there, but their website is down. They have a publishing division, or had one.

Don’t forget about Goony Golf. It was east of Flannery close to the old Brian Harris Chevy. They had a water slide too.

What was the one that was on Perkins just west of College? Can’t recall the name. Was in a shopping center at that time
Books-A-Million was where Trader Joes is now. That was a great book store for about 10 yrs.

They are, or were, in the shopping center at Perkins and Acadian. Pretty sure the original store took heavy damage if not burned down completely, when The Caterie caught on fire.

I believe you are correct.
That building was originally the Children’s Palace toy store and is currently a giant thrift shop.

Borders was another good book store that was next to the mall of LA.

Yep, BJ was his name. He briefly around mid-2000s had his own shop down the street named Baker Comics, but he had to shut down due to some financial issues I think. Not too sure what happened to him, but I heard at one point he was at the Borders that is not the Main Event place at the Mall of LA. Good dude, and I spent quite a bit of time at his spot in the Book Warehouse and at his own shop.
