Anybody remember a great big store at Potomac Mills called Incredible Universe? This would be about 10-15 years ago. It was where Gander Mountain is now. It had some really cool off the wall shit.
I'm just trying to make sure I didn't dream this. What happened to it?

Yes, the Incredible Universe existed until Best Buy essentially put it out of business. I visited it once after it first opened at Potomac Mills. The building was then a General Dynamics facility from about 2001 to 2013, then became Gander Mountain and a flooring company.

I bought a computer at the grand opening, but the store closed after about one year.

Could have just stuck with bacon if you liked frying things so much.

Fry's has a retail presence in the southwest, there's a store in Las Vegas. However, much of the stuff they sell is shittier than what you might find at micro center. The prices of name brand, widely distributed models isn't that much better than amazon/micro center/B&H.
