Who remembers Crush? Nick Skitz and 90’s Lebo scene it was horrible but I use to go.
Bro all the Lebos used to go to that under 18s thing there lol. I went to Sega World to play the video games. It was the largest indoor theme park in the country.

Sir Laptop on YouTube made a good case study video about it:

Shit man, I remember Lahood's - some poor bloke got murdered there over 20 years ago. It just went downhill after that. I went past that old joint when I was last in Campsie a few days ago - it's a Variety store now.
La Hood was open 84 years. Very sad day when they closed. The area was never the same. The boy that got stabbed used to go Belmore Boys High School.

First ever Pizza Hut in Australia I believe. Probably wrong. Same with the Bevo Hills one use to love going there after the movies
Yep. Used to go to the one in Bankstown Square after a movie across the road at Hoyts. I never used to go to Bankstown much as a kid - only for cousins birthdays and during the holidays for movies - so I used to love going there.

Wow... I never knew it was open that long. I remember they had games/arcade machines at the front that made it look like a amusement centre. I think there was some shonky dealings going on at the back though. My brother in law was involved in a fight there back in his teenage years that spilled out onto Beamish street. It was a freaking all-in-brawl - Asians vs Lebs lol.

Is it too soon to say the twin towers?
On that note - not sure if you watched The Looming Tower on Amazon Prime (about the events/intel failures that led to 9/11), but the way they re-created the area was clever considering this was shot in 2018:


Likely that was existing footage and Jeff Daniels probably walked onto a green screen and they cut him into it. The part in the lobby where he gets into the lift was apparently a miniature model of the original lobby and again they cut him into it to make it look like he was walking through it. Pretty convincing.
