Ah yes, karma - I can feel it. Summer is in the air, and the deli is serving those new sandwiches, time to get out those tools and do something about that garage opener. 10 days my fellow burbanites, then it's us burbs who unite in one giant suburb of our own.

This is unlike National Lampoons vacation, a real story, since you guys are into the 80s and Joe Dante style movies, I'll write some of my childhood memories here from time to time, this time It's about my vacation to spain early 80s and how I got to fall in love with Arcade games. My vacation...

Money knows no age, so back then they weren't so "aware" of everything. I love your two stories there, and yes, most likely a shady deal that went down in that run down old cinema. I have another story. I'll write that in a new thread.

We all remember fondly those arcade machines we grew up with in the 80s. It used to be the "Degenerates" hangout no#1. Every school skipper, low-grade, grease monkeys, motor-heads and nerds used to hang out here. Nerds like me were of course prone to become fresh meat for the gearheads and...

I almost read that as you having 597 arcade machines in your collection :D But that's not very likely, So Music videos it is. Nonetheless I absolutely LOVE arcade machines, in fact - I grew up with those, I had 3 of those in my bedroom as a kid. I used to hang out with the local arcade...

My condolences to you and your family. If it's any comfort, I can say that my Grandmother died at age 82, and my mother of age 60 (smoking). But my grandmother was like my mother and it was devastating when she passed, so I understand your feelings. But what I do to cope with it, is to imagine...

I know I got myself a few tools + a VR Quest 3. (Hope to meet you guys in Bigscreen one day, it's a VR theater where we can watch movies like the Burbs together, no matter where we are in the world). So - watcha get for Christmas? Or what did you buy?

Ah, I live in Sweden - so wish I could be there. Merry X-mas fellow burbanites. Do post pictures if you're there.

Since we LIVE the neighborhood - it's okay, we watch our neighborhood all year anyway. Merry X-mas fellow burbanites. Edit: So far I've watched: - Home Alone (wasn't on my list but I got inspired by you guys) - National Lampoons Christmas. - Christmas with the Kranks.

Hello neighbor, I'm shocked you don't even have the Burbs on your list... but here's mine so far: 1. The Burbs 2. The Goonies 3. Gremlins 4. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation 5. The Nightmare before Christmas And merry christmas dear neighbors, I hope you all get a toolkit or a new garage...

"If you know absolutely all the trivia about your cubbyhole of pop culture, it saves you from having to know anything about anything else. That's why it's excruciatingly boring to talk to such people: They're always asking you questions they know the answer to.” Quoted above from that Roger...

Congratulations on your new property dear fellow burbanite! I based my home purchase kinda like you did back in the days when I moved in, in fact I think I wrote a piece on it (and some observations on my neighbors quite some time ago in here as well). Maybe I could bring over my night scope...

Nice find! I see the for sale sign, do you think it's still for sale? Wonder if the Klopeks would approve, oh wait...

Apparantly you have a keen eye Mr. Peterson, good catch.

Yes ofcourse!
