I hate to invoke it yet again, but for that infinitesimally tiny gaggle of readers who also fondly remember the old Forbidden Planet when it was on 12th & Broadway (which I waxed rhapsodic about in this post), check out this video of same from 1986. I stumbled upon this last night whilst in a YouTube stupor. The video in question is low on frills & thrills (and it's only one of seven chapters!!!), but it clearly depicts the old exterior & interior of the fabled hive of uber-geekdom. Today, this place is the decidedly less interesting No Difference shoe outlet, and Forbidden Planet is now on 13th street (and somehow much less interesting itself). Enjoy.
