"A tandy zoomer" sounds like a member of a very specific subculture of vaporwave.


My grandfather was a regional manager of McDuff, which got bought out by radioshack. They had a dog named tandy. His entire retirement fund was in ratshack stock and he rode it down to zero.

If it’s anything like rollerskating it’s good to have street wheels and flat wheels of different size and density, but even without those differences it’s nice to have a set of wheels you don’t gently caress up as bad with gravel and uneven surface.

Oh absolutely all of it, but he’s unfortunately fairly decent on wheels so some fuckin ramp tramps will fall for it and he can, pardon the pun, skate by some of the douchebag alarms by being able to do things others can’t or won’t.

He didn’t. September 11, 2001 was harder on him than it was for most people (victims and those related to them notwithstanding), not for what went down that morning, but more for what would go down afterward. By 2002, nobody saw him again; he only ever bladed and he forgot how to walk.

Nah, he was just a bellwether of style and zeitgeist, and he really got into butt rock, fleurs-de-lis, and Von Dutch trucker hats.

I know this list is selecting for the wild designs, but I'm impressed at how bold and complicated the designs are. In the 90's even the K-Mart had some neon lights on the wall, and Walmart had the smileys up around. The GTE Contact Center reminded me of an office I worked in that was last remodeled in the 90s.

I feel like most stores today have minimal design. They have some shelves and racks and they might be nice shelves but that's it. However, Stew Leonard's has their animatronic funscape. I can think of one Banana Republic that has this train station design to it, but their other stores don't have much design interest. Wegman's has the fake streetscape in the Cafe/Bakery/Deli section of their flagship stores, but most have the "is brown" aesthetic.

Maybe I'm just too old to appreciate some of the design?
