All 3 are basically this era's version of MacLeod Mall.
+1 to retail computer stores...there's one on 9th Ave in the bottom of one of those apartment buildings. It looks like they still sell MS-Dos systems.

That lounge is amazing. Its like stepping out of a time machine and straight into the 80s. I went there years ago with a couple of buddies and we thought we had walked into the Twilight Zone.
Its not just the retail Computer stores, its the ones in strip malls or just really strange locations. Theres one in Southland Crossing and everytime I walk by I wonder how they've lasted.
And the stuff they advertise in the windows! "Come on in, we've got all the copies of Windows 98 you could ever want!"
