    A quick reminder that I'm not taking anymore history video requests right now, so please do not ask until I start taking them again (in the future I'll make an update video which you can comment on once I start taking them again).

    One of the oldest showbizes, I think there was a murder around there but this is still sad.

    I think that “Storybook Characters” banner might be there because of an event that was held by the time that photo was taken, but I might be wrong.

    Omg I remember my 4th birthday there! My mom says I cried at the mascot coming up to me 😂 also the animatronics scared a dumb 4 year old me too lol. Thinking about it now I miss them. Before it closed for good I always wanted to go back and see them but I was too old for it my mom said.

      @@realPizza_Rat_Entertainment It’s not called Phase 4, that’s an incorrect term. The 2003 remodel was when “Phase 4” originally started, though it wasn’t pushed out massively until 2005, hence the 2005 Update to the 2003 Remodel.

    When you mentioned Omaha, Nebraska that made me think of living in the cold state of Iowa right next to a golf course that made me think of a time in 2009 in the good ole year of the ox when my parents had a pontoon boat and we had a new cat named Midnight (2008 or 2009 - 2022) and he gave the boat a cat scan and when he saw land he jumped into the water and my mom was surprised that Midnight jumped into the water. The people on the golf course were surprised that it was a person that fell in the water, but it actually was a cat that fell into the water. In 2016 in the good ole year of the monkey we figured out that Midnight was a Bombay cat because the neighbors of a kid that I went to elementary school with told us that he was a Bombay.

      It's so weird to see Macsway Ave brought up here, since I'm from Columbus and moved to Davenport several years back. The Macsway location was my favorite. The animatronics were in pretty good shape, and my heart broke when I learned it closed.

Sharknville opened in October, so there’s still that gap where they could’ve had the beta cosmetics. Cincinnati colerain too. It opened in November, so these stores opened after Davenport. Unless we know for sure when this commercial was recorded we can’t really confirm it’s not Davenport.
