    LOL well not trying to destroy it. It’s just one of those things that initially I saw I didn’t think about twice. But then I did think about it it just kind of tickled my brain in a funny way to think how anachronistic it all is now. That there are no phone booths anymore. Where does Superman change now? Does he just do it in an alley like a bum?

      There’s plenty of abandoned malls and former retail shops that now just sit abandoned in the wake of Amazon’s dominance. If you’re going to make everything about realism, I’m sure there’s never a former radioshack or blockbuster, or toys r us nearby.

        To you perhaps. Here no actually. The Last Remnant of the large local mall is set to be torn down soon as Macy’s is closing. The rest of the mall was torn down nearly 10 years ago. There are no remnants of Radio Shack or Blockbuster or Toys R Us here either. Though some of the buildings they used to occupy are still here. But not abandoned.

        But isn’t it crazy to think about all those things like that that future Generations will have no good context for
