After going to Will's viewing today, I stopped at his mall on my way home. Imagine my surprise to see this:
That's not a seasonal pop-up, not in April. This is one of their new "flagship" locations, meant to be permanent. Like Will said himself, it's basically just a thinly disguised Go Calendars, and is in a space that's probably about 50% too big for it (with prices to match), but there's something special about experiencing this, almost eight years after the last TRU I saw, because of my internet pal Will.
Some of the pictures in his memorial slideshow were of him in his old TRU uniform, back when they wore red shirts instead of blue. Will never stopped being a Toys "Я" Us kid, and now thanks to him, I get to be one at least one more day.
