Toys "R" Us (Kids "R" Us added); Clay, New York. Taken May 22, 2007. Looks exactly the same as I remember it from last August (2006).

This is store is not easy to take pictures of for two reasons: 1) Rampant mall security makes exiting your car a risk. 2) Afternoon sun shines the back of the store. I had to come here in the morning for most of these.

This is the last confirmed original looking 1988 (brown roof, rainbow-striped) store in the state. The other one *was* Horseheads, but it was repainted in late 2006. This store is living history!

By the hillside. Toys R Us is an outparcel on the outer limits of the mall property. I had to watch for Great Northern Mall security almost constantly. They're overzealous at the mall and unfortunately they are plentiful.

Most of the scaffold lighting was (seemingly) dead except for the few of one seen here.

Pull Ticket system and supermarket aisles at the Clay store. Sadly, they took down the old aisle signs (I have a picture of one from last year).

I managed to get approached by a night manager later that day because he saw me walking around taking pictures. He simply asked me not to take anymore (it was ok because by this time I had A LOT). I almost got hit by mall security earlier that day and had no problem taking indoor pictures.

Here's an old picture of the Toys "R" Us in Milford, Connecticut!

According to the assessor database, it was built in 1983 and has since been remodeled (I'm guessing early 2000s). CLick here for more info: http://data.visionappraisal.com/MilfordCT/findpid.asp#closest

Looks like the "Whole" plaza just got refaced except for the lazy paint job on that poor old Toys R Us store. I'll have to see it again sometime before Summer's end...

Milford, Connecticut store as of July 13, 2007.

They repainted the facade since I last saw it, formerly baring a "Kids R Us" label scar. I posted a "vintage" picture of the store from before the remodel. Check a page back!
