Я You With Me?
Toys Я Us – you are not yet gone, and yet I already miss you. I always have. I miss my grandparents taking me there to pick out whatever I wanted for my birthday (Star Wars or GI Joe figures). I miss grabbing those price tickets to get the latest Nintendo or Sega Genesis game. I miss going down EVERY single aisle and dreaming of having it all (like those small motorized cars that were always too much $$$). I miss the opportunity to enter and win Nickelodeon’s Super Toy Run, which I never had a chance of winning – but I always held out hope that I would. The store may soon be dead, but the dream and dreams will never be. You will always be a part of me. You Я!
