Ummm...I may have gone just a little overboard with the Hunger Games movie merchandise. Haha! I can't help it! I love the books and can't wait for the movie!!
If you want to get sorted into a District and get your free DIP (ID), go to The Hunger Games movie facebook: www.facebook.com/thehungergamesmovie?ref=ts#!/thehungerga...
The picture on the left has my personal District 11 T-shirt (front), arena parachute necklace (it opens and contains a canister that you can put things in), Mockingjay earrings, Mockingjay pin, my DIP (ID) for District 11, large holographic bookmark, four small magnetic bookmarks.
The picture on the right has my personal District 11 T-shirt (back), Katniss action figure, Hunger Games bag and socks, and the back of the bookmarks.
I took this with my iPhone, so the quality's not the greatest. Sorry about that!
May the odds be ever in your favor. Happy Hunger Games!!
Deadpool merchandise at Spencer's, a novelty store, similiar to Hit Topic but with way more risque content ... like numerous marijuana themed pieces of attire, sexy lingerie, and dildos ... for ... you know. If you were aroused by Deadpool's disfigured face, have an addiction to pot, and the right equipment between your legs, Spencer's can meet all your needs! (except getting a bondsman to get you out of jail for doing pot).
Creepy place. April 2009.
Service Merchandise, until its bankruptcies in 1999 and 2002, was a giant in the catalog showroom category of department stores, a category which virtually disappeared after the turn of the century.
I remember going to the one on Hillsborough in Tampa. There was one at Eastlake Mall, but I never went there.
This particular store was originally an Albertson's. I have no information aside from that. It sits along a burned-out retail strip very, very near the Gulf of Mexico.
I bought a roll of black and white film on a whim and, using my cheap point-and-shoot manual Vivitar camera, fooled around with it.

Missabe 403 and a pair of ’38s take the lead of a manifest train as it eases down Proctor Hill west of 56th Avenue in Duluth on Sept. 10, 2006. I believe Kevin was with me for this one, and Kent Rengo showed up as well. Ho there, guys!

My local Disney Store got display dolls of the upcoming Limited Edition Snow White, Evil Queen and the Prince 17 inch dolls this past Thursday. I finally got my internet connection fixed today, so here are the detailed photos I took of the dolls. They were displayed behind the checkout counter, but the CMs placed them on the counter for me so I could see them up close and take photos. They are all very impressive in person, but my favorite by far is Rags Snow White, because of the beauty of her face. I also like the other two more then I did before, even after seeing them at the Expo. I was also amazed at the detailing of the Queen's heart box. Because of the glare from the lighting in the store and other reflections on the plastic viewing windows of the doll cases, I used flash for most of the photos. I'm very much looking forward to the August 1 in store release.
Old Service Merchandise shopping cart spotted in a Salvation Army Thrift Store parking lot.
SM was a rather different store. It had an area where you could just grab stuff off the shelf like any normal store, but its electronics, jewelry, and furniture departments had a ticket system. Basically you got a card and wrote down the catalog numbers of what you wanted (later this became a barcode "pull-ticket" system), then took it to a counter. A few minutes later, your "order" would then roll down a big convener belt to the checkout. This method pushed the catalog and reduced theft. The chain liquidated in 2002, and currently exists as an online retailer.
Looking past the LaSalle Street Bridge and the Helene Curtis Building, at the Merchandise Mart, billed as the world's largest commercial building. When opened in 1930, the Merchandise Mart or the Mart, located in Chicago, IL., was the largest building in the world with four million square feet (372,000 m²) of floor space.
Previously owned by the Marshall Field family, the Mart centralised Chicago's wholesale goods business by consolidating vendors and trade under a single roof. Massive in its construction, and serving as a monument to early 20th century merchandising and architecture, the Art Deco landmark anchors the daytime skyline at the junction of the Chicago River branches. With upper levels bathed in coloured floodlight, the structure stands out against darker downtown buildings in night views. The building continues to be a leading retailing and wholesale destination, hosting 20,000 visitors and tenants per day.
It is so large that it rates its own zip (post) code - 60654! It stands 104m high. But it looks more like a downtown Federal penitentiary than a wholesale shop! It was succeeded as the building with the largest floor space by the Pentagon in Arlington, VA., in 1943 but by this measure is still the sixth largest building in the world.
I was in my old stompin' grounds today and decided to drive by of one of the old strip malls in that area. It housed Service Merchandise after it moved from the Karl & 161 intersection. It moved to the Cleveland Ave. & 161 intersection in 1986 or so. It was probably the biggest store out of all of them that was in this strip mall. I remember Service Merchandise as being the first real big store I ever went into as a kid. You could find something on the floor and then hand a ticket to an employee and then they would get it sent up from the back. It was pretty neat. They didn't have all of their stock on the floor for some reason. Kind of strange now if you think about it, but back then it seemed pretty neat. Well, the strip mall is now almost empty. Service (as we used to call it) is gone, so is PharMor and Marshalls. the Donatos is still there. The other places that occupied some space were places I had never heard of. It's kind of funny how this place just fell off the map. I remember it being pretty busy for many years.
Anyway, it's fun to drive through the old neighborhood and see how things have changed/died off. I figure that in 15 years or so it will all be booming once again. Columbus seems to have its ebbs and flows.
On a personal note, I found the lens correction filter in photoshop. Wow! I can finally make pics like this straight.

An imposing building dating from the 1930's with over 4 million sq. ft. (over 37,000 sq. m.) of display space for manufacturers and wholesalers. In its day, it was the largest building in the US until the Pentagon was built. Despite its age and size, it is now a LEED-certified building with trend-setting energy efficiency measures. It remains one of the world's most prominent buildings for manufacturers and wholesalers to display their product.
