Toys-were-Us – one final look
We’d done a final trip just prior to the Tallahassee, FL Toy-R-Us closing on April 22, 2018. Earlier this week I did another trip across town to get a look at the bare hull of the place. There is really nothing but the building left at this point, with the lone exception of a final…
