When I was a kid we hung out at the record store... it was free

Maybe, thats why I was asking. I def dont remember anything as constant as the cafe in friends.

In high school in the '90s we were pretty close. It was a handful of places but not that many, basically anywhere we could get away with sitting for hours nursing a coffee or iced tea. If they had pinball, big bonus. Maybe not every day, but certainly many days in the week.

No they famously try new places all the time. The only time there’s a repeat place is if it has significance to a plot point. They were all well off though.

In my previous city we had a friend group that would get together and have a potluck and watch cartoons every week. To my knowledge it’s still going on after 10+ years.

You guys have friends?

Ahhhh I see thanks

I hung out at videogame sections at consumer electronics stores when I was a kid because they usually had a few game consoles with games on them to play. It was also free.

Was.

As in past-tense.

Kmart and sears too.

Sears had it bad. It got stripped out and then bought by Kmart, and then it got stripped agian.

Absolutely

If I'm hanging out with more than 1 person at a time we better be playing D&D. Otherwise I'm probably just there out of obligation.

I think Luke's was the only diner in Star's Hollow.
