What locations in the Western United States had the 70s-80s playground package?? Here are some I believe had them: 619 Broadway, Chula Vista, CA 91910 (the first McDonald's PlayPlace. Still has an outdoor PlayPlace with new equipment) 424 W San Ysidro Blvd, San Diego, CA 92173 (where the mass shooti...

I am wondering if any of these eras of McDonald's play equipment have names to them?? I am asking this because the McDonald's in Folsom, CA recently removed their Mid to Late 90s play equipment and I am wondering where in the country they still have old play equipment.

I know the Iron Point Road in Fol...

How are the two Staples store performing in the Reno area?? Are they performing better than the Office Depot stores? What is the best performing Office Depot store in Reno/Sparks?? How is the OfficeMax in Elko doing, being in a small market of only 47,000 people in its entire area?? LOW RENT. That ...

Both abandoned sites mentioned above were announced to the public. Carson had a coming soon sign and Sparks had a newspaper article and construction permits pulled. I don't know why we got so many of these stores; I think Office Depot liked the Reno market since Staples wasn't in it until very late...

That is very interesting. Are there a lot more businesses per capita in the Reno area than in other places that use office supply stores?? Where did Office Depot, Max, or Staples propose new stores that were abandoned (never-built) in the Sacramento area? Remember that 90% of abandoned sites never ...
