39:22 I've lost count of how many times that i walked through that security building over a period of 10 seasons (1995-2005). It brings back good memories of how things used to be. I sometimes wonder what it would have been like if Anheuser Busch had not sold the Sea World portion to Six Flags. Hopefully they'll find a way to preserve some of what remains.

I grew up an hour from Geauga Lake. Sea World was a favorite weekend trip for our family 2-3 times a summer in the 70's early 80's. Seeing some of my favorite childhood memories reduced to this is just depressing. As I get older I begin to understand what my grandmother meant when she said she had lived too long.

✍Hello... I love my GE in Barberton and its not really as big as some of the other stores but I will say I love grocery shopping in smaller grocery stores. I grew up in the 40-50S and then got married in 60s and grocery stores were just that, a grocery store not a grocery store with a cafe, coffee shop, pharmacy, or whatever. Don't get me wrong the convenience is nice but shopping in these big stores can be exhausting and especially when they decide to change things up. God forbid you can find what you're looking for !! I'll just stick with my Barberton Giant Eagle store 💕 Bye

This is bittersweet to see what’s left really sad to see what it’s come to. This is what greed creates unfortunately we lost amazing parks that were a staple for many generations and now it’s lost to just memories 😢. So glad I got to grow up and experience these places it was absolutely educational and fun for everyone!!!! Invest money into the old school parks it’s not always about bigger faster rides but variety and selection for everyone to enjoy what happened to those days let’s bring it back!!!!😢

@@nearandfarexplorers5125 I remember when I was a kid it was Stop and Shop, that would be in the early - mid 90s, before that it was Country Counter. It's a fairly old building, hence why it doesn't look like any of the other Giant Eagles. The signs over the isles for example are the same ones that were there when I was a little kid. They used to have free coffee by the bakery and my Oma (grandma) and I would go there and she would buy us doughnuts and she would drink coffee and talk to the other seniors who would hangout there.
