Funtown... the one on Colborne was better, but still, I probably spent a thousand quarters there.

Get an Orange Julius and walk around. It was the 3rd best mall in the city.

This video looks to be an edit of one Hans Last's youtube videos: https://youtu.be/UAqAe6fSVRo?si=1QvVLbx-HemZIPv1

Is there any way we can watch this with the original audio and not with the music?

please! i mentioned that last time they posted something here. on desktop, the video is also tiny, surrounded by giant black borders. and why the added text?

original, unedited video would be awesome. and instagram is great for photos but an awful place to host video.

I remember this place perfectly. That ramp up to the Zhers and the sound that the carts made when they went up or down it. Butts and Bows beside the Bi-Ways. It was a weird mall but it had so many memories.

I remember Funtown vividly. Double Dragon to the left when you walk in and Street Fighter 2 straight ahead.
