    One other important thing about Springfield is that it is considered a "low volume store". In 2024, it lost its salad bar and is one of the worst performing stores in the district. A new family fun center recently opened in the area as well hurting business. This is a big reason why it became a legacy store. They saved money not having to give it 2.0 and hope that the animatronics bring in tourists.

    Very Nice Video… as always 😌✌🏽 👌🏽 lol Now, if I may- Two history reaction/video ideas I have in mind (One of which: being a HISTORICALLY ICONIC LOCATION…. Loved by MANY OF US within the fandom, and VERY COMMONLY KNOWN as that of the Chuck E. Cheese location in Huntsville, AL) Seeing as though I currently now reside in the Huntsville area, and they have DEPRESSINGLY and UNFORTUNATELY FELL VICTIM TO THE ULTIMATE NEW REMODEL of 2.0 😔🤦🏽‍♂️ I am still intrigued to come to find their origin/backstory!! I apologize in advance if this is something you’ve done already! Huntsville is a very special LOCATION to me… though with its own features (that had separated THEM from ALLL THE REST… in a way, it still kinda resembled and reminded me of my HOME Chuck E. Cheese from my childhood, first coming up in Illinois) That then, ties in and leads me to the other idea I had in mind for a history/reaction video (Now, THIS ONE may be a bit short… given due to the lack of photos/videos to surface the web…. Therefore, you might wanna COMBINE this into one whole video doing: this one FIRST and Huntsville right after lol) but my second history video idea… is that of the M.A.T.T.E.S.O.N. IL location!!!
    And the only reason I put the periods in between is cause it always gives that little red squiggle at the end (And I hate when that happens 👀 lol)! But anyways, these were just two ideas I had in mind for the LONGEST (however, I knew you went through a point in time where you weren’t DOING reaction requests, so that’s why I had put it off)!! Anyway, I hope you have a blessed day, blessed weekend/upcoming week, and I look forward to seeing the next history video you plan on doing for the Pensacola, FL location!!! 😀

    @EthanCrossMedia 26 дней назад +1

    Nice! 😀👍🏽 This interesting location is far away from me, as it’s 3 hours drive from me, as it’s located in the state capital city of Illinois. I’ve seen videos of this location back in the 2010s (after they got a CU 1-Stage, and luckily, the last location to still have this, as it sits there today after it was announced that the company would keep that along with other 5 retro stores during the 2.0 remodel).

    • @EthanCrossMedia
      @EthanCrossMedia 26 дней назад +2

      Also, Pensacola is the city where everyone’s popular RUclipsr, including myself here, and has autographs from Logan and Chilly, SML (formerly SuperMarioLogan until 2021, due to a C&D from Nintendo) is filmed. I passed that city back in 2017, going from there in Tampa, FL from a cruise with Royal Caribbean to Cuba (now you can’t go there as of late 2017) to Texas (in the Dallas-Fort Worth area) visiting my Filipino-American relatives there.

    Nice video itzarob you've done well again 👍. Hey I wanted to also let you know if you haven't already that the Pensacola location the one your covering next is also an interesting one to cover since famous RUclipsr Super Mario Logan has made two videos there of the characters Jeffy and Juniors birthday back in the mid 2010s and they captured great footage of the animatronic show room and store itself.
    It will be cool if you could mention and possibly use there footage in the next video. I'm sure Logan is more than willing since little kids randomly use his footage on RUclips at anytime.
