- hcurtiss 6y agoYeah, when it opened, the one in Wilsonville, OR was truly a marvel. Frys was a step down out of the gate. Lately, it's just been disgusting. Maybe it's because I was a kid in high school, but thinking back on the magic of Incredible Universe, it's a truly sad development.
- parsimo2010 6y agoI remember those stores. I remember them because I was switching to CDs for buying music, but needed a dual CD/tape boombox because I would record a new song on tape off the radio to listen to until I had the money to buy the album on CD. And Incredible Universe had all of the above. It wasn't that long ago but it was way different in terms of stores (Circuit City was another that doesn't really exist anymore) and my tech needs.
