Here's my latest video. I've never really spent any time in a Nordstrom or Nordstrom Rack store before. They've recently had a few quarters of declining sales, so I figured I should go check a few stores out. The differences between the 2 stores are interesting. I also experienced quite a bit of "sticker shock" when looking at some of the price tags at a full line Nordstrom store.

Here's the last episode of Retail Archaeology for 2023. It's a special Christmas episode, we visit 3 malls to check out their Christmas decorations and see how they're doing during the holiday season. Thank you all for your support during 2023. I am already working on the next few videos for 2024. I've got some fun ones coming up, including some that focus on mall food. Merry Christmas and happ...

Here's my latest video đ It's the holiday season, which means it's time to look at another Christmas catalog from an old department store chain. This time it's a new catalog from Montgomery Ward. I go into how and why this weird thing exists in the video. I have to apologize for the audio quality, I had some microphone issues while recording and also my sinuses were stuffy.
I'm curren...
I will have 2 new videos out this week. The first will be out tomorrow. Did you know Montgomery Ward is still around and still puts out catalogs? I got my hands on the Christmas 2023 catalog.
The second video will be out Friday, we'll be checking out Christmas time at the mall.
Thank you everyone for your patience while I catch up on finishing videos. I have some time off at work ...
Have you seen those videos where a wheel flys off of a car and smashes into something? I got to experience that first hand tonight. I was driving my kid to dance class and we got hit by a wheel that flew off a Jeep. We were in the turn lane waiting to make a left when suddenly there was a very loud bang and the whole truck rocked. A wheel had flown off a Jeep, glanced off the side of a truck, a...

Here's my latest video. I had a lot of fun checking out this store. This was the first time I've ever been in a Daiso and based on my experience here I'll definitely be going back. Thanks everyone!

If you listen to podcasts you should check out the Super Gamer Podcast. I was the guest on the latest episode. A link is attached to this post.
Also, I'm still working on the video that I thought I could get done by Sunday. I vastly underestimated the amount of time it would take me to get software installed, data copied over, and my editing process up and running again. I should be done...
The hard drive in the laptop I use for editing died a few days ago. I installed a new one, so it's up and running again. Thankfully, I didn't lose any footage. I'm pretty good about backing up footage. What I'm not good about is backing up the project files for the videos I'm currently working on. I was planning on putting a new video out on Sunday, but that video has to wait now. I have to bas...

In the next few episodes, we'll be going to the mall đ Thanks everyone!

Here's my latest video. I hope you all enjoy it! This one was a lot of fun to make. I've been wanting to do another thrifting video for a while. It's taken a long time to compile enough footage for a whole episode. The thrift stores here in the Phoenix area just haven't had a lot of interesting stuff latley. In this episode I am wearing long sleeves in some of the shots. That's because some of ...

Here's the latest episode of Retail Archaeology. Puente Hills Mall was the filming location for Twin Pines Mall in Back to the Future. It's now a very dead mall. Thank you everyone for your support!

Here's my latest video. It's a little shorter than usual. That's because I'm working on some longer videos, and they're taking me a little longer to get done than expected. My next video will be around 30 minutes and covers a very dead mall in Southern California. Thanks you everyone!

Tomorrow I will be filming and working on a video with Mark that I've been wanting to do for a while. I don't want to spoil to much, but it involves mall food and cooking đ

Here's my latest video. This one covers my first trip to Tucson Mall. This place had become one of my favorite malls. It's beautiful to look at and has some really great stuff inside. Thank you everyone for your support!

Hello everyone, I wanted to provide some updates on upcoming videos and what I'm working on. I will have a new episode of Retail Archaeology out on Friday. I was hoping to have it out sooner but I'm just getting over a wicked sinus infection and my voice doesn't sound quite right yet. I still sound a little plugged up. I normally get a sinus infection this time of year but this one stuck around...

Here's the latest episode of Retail Archaeology, it goes live to the public tomorrow. In this one we take a look at Party City. They filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy a few days ago. I filmed this a few days before the bankruptcy filing. I had a feeling they would be filing soon and wanted footage for a video covering it. I didn't realize it would be just a few days later. I hope you enjoy the vi...

2023-01-14 22:12:13 +0000 UTC View PostI just got the voice over done for the next episode. Working on this video has been challenging because my neighbors are doing construction. It's been loud at the worst possible times, basically any time I've had time to record. Overall I'm about 85% done with the video and the hardest part is done now. I should be uploading it tomorrow morning. Thanks everyone!

Another nice thing about this time of year is that I can take some time off from my job. I'm planning on traveling to the Los Angeles area before the end of the year. If you k...
