Toys ‘R’ Us to close Times Square location

The multi story Toys 'R' Us at New York's Times Square is set to close.

This final note on the way out today, which I think is probably a net positive for humanity.

According to CNN, Toys “R” Us isn’t going to renew the lease on its massive flagship store in Times Square.

You know, the one with the Ferris wheel and the ridiculous crowds and the giant T. rex.

Last day is December 30, so there’s still time if you just gotta see it.

A couple of months ago the company closed down the FAO Schwarz up on 5th Avenue.
