They existed concurrently with Bradlee's (and, for that matter, Rich's.)

All the Zayre locations had closed by 1990 (before I started driving) but I don't remember any having a gas station attached. Was that a thing in MA?

Like a Casio keyboard's demo mode, but worse.

I agree, it’s a fantastic museum. Officially it’s supposed to be floating, but it will often be settled in the muck at the bottom of the river…unlike the USS Kidd, which is out of the water completely due to the level of the Mississippi River.

USS Intrepid is sitting on the bottom of the Hudson River.

Reply to Are there any places/activities in Boston that are underrated because they are typically associated with tourists or being touristy? by MrMadLeprechaun
It’s expensive, but Codzilla was legitimately a lot of fun. Likewise the Liberty Fleet of tall ships next to the Aquarium. They’re great to just hang out and lazily cruise around the harbor for a couple hours.

They were, back in the day. Now? Eh, probably not.
