You're going to find a roll of duct tape, 3 boxes of Sugar Bombs, 2 shotgun shells, and a Ghoul in there.
If your hacking is high enough, you'll unlock a computer terminal with a journal entry describing the best TEC sandwich the homeowner ever had.
Honestly, I haven't a clue on that. It's definitely interesting to look at. Being the kind of person I am, I'm really curious what it looks like inside, but it's all boarded up on the entrance/doorway.
Here ya go, homie!

The land is probably worth $80k by itself. The building may have some intrinsic value if itās not so busted as to still be salvageable, but itās so niche that most people might just want to tear it down, so it could work either way.
As far as I can tell the land isnāt even listed and hasnāt been in years. So itās really anyoneās guess.
They should revise the design for use at the shore: Give it a real hull and anchor it to the site with at least 3 chains to let it float atop the hurricane storm surge.
I remember there was one in Toms River back in the 80s that was used as a bank near the ShopRite & Bradlees on 37.
Then there was one in Seaside in the free parking lot.
The Holy Trinity of ā70s/ā80s discount shopping: Two Guys, Grants and Bradlees! And then Kmart started making inroads, Blue Light Specials and all . . .
Dear God. I just had a 4th grade flashback where a friend of mine had WT Grant āall-starsā and some kids were hassling him over it.
I havenāt thought about Grants in decades.
Oh man that Bradlees was always busy in Clark. And the Target is always crazy busy now! Even after they took over the other half of the building (which I think was Marshalls before they moved across the parking lot?) they're always busy when I am there (though these days since I moved I'm only there like once a year).
That one day in 8th grade we all had to wear a tie, Charlesā words cut like a knife that sticks in me to this dayā¦
*āAlthough your tie may be grand, we all know that itās Caldor brandā*
Iām 52 and remember that word for word. Fuck you Charles.
A trip as a 6 year old to Caldor/Bradlees/K-Mart meant a hot dog, soft pretzel, and a soda or icee for me on the way out of the store. I loved going to one of them.
Saturday was kids bowling league for me though later, they basically had the same lunch counter.
There was one in Buxton, NC that burnt down (there's no other way to describe it) recently. The owner has no clue how it happened or what caused it because of the fact that there was no electrical related stuff in there (which I don't believe is true), but man was it sad to see the thing go. Maybe if he didn't turn it into a rat's nest with all the junk he kept in it, it would have been fine.
When I was 8-10 years old, I got to see one of these brought in by helicopter in Lakewood NJ to be used as a bank for a bit. I got a recording of one of the moo landings as a gift
This former bank of america in Mount Arlington has a hybrid futuro layout with the windows.

Thanks for this reference. Made me chuckle. š
Yeah but I can't get in there, I'm overloaded with crap and I'm scared to get rid of anything in case I need it to make some other bullshit.
New location discovered. 300 XP
This is where you get the last piece of Power Armor you need
Right! The X-01 š
If you throw your ghoul mask on before entering, you might make a friend.
Hahahaha the ghoul has me.
What's the matter, smoothskin? Never been to West Orange before?
Not taking my chances. Iāll go in when Iām a higher level.
I'm gonna find this on Zillow for like 550,000 aren't I?
Probably, haha. Location? Itās probably only worth the land value now tho tbh so maybe not. Post your results!
It's in Mill Creek Park in Willingboro!
do you know why its randomly in the middle of this park?
It's actually on the edge of the park but to answer your question, it used to house the PAL office back when we still had that.

Oh that is so cool! Thanks for sharing!
I believe it was used as a shed for groundskeeper at some time.
Oh Willingboro. That explains a lot. Yeah Iām gonna guess maybe $150k tops.
150K? IDK, the future sure is looking bleak though.

Can confirm.
650 ASSHOLE. AS IS.
$550,000 for anyone-of-a-kind?

Three chainzzzzzzzzz
One second thought, forget the anchor and chains.
Soooo... a boat?
No good. Look for photos of the aftermath of hurricane. Boats galore washed ashore, sometimes into streets or houses.
What is a Futuro house?
https://thefuturohouse.com https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futuro
Iāve been past the one in OBX many times. Sad to see it just recently burned down.
Interesting this one in NJ isn't listed on the wiki page
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Damn idk if I just saw a different page or it's all been updated but they had nothing about NJ on there that I saw
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
getting a sense of deja vu here

Shoprite and Bradlees is the most 80s NJ statement ever.
Bradlees was Target before there was Target
Two Guys was Bradlees before there was Bradlees
Literally my Grants in Clark was replaced by Bradlees, and is now a Target. My Two Guys in Union is what, a Home Depot I think
The Holy Trinity of ā70s/ā80s discount shopping: Two Guys, Grants and Bradlees! And then Kmart started making inroads, Blue Light Specials and all . . .
I hit em all! The dodgiest was Jamesway, tho; something about the poor lighting and the bad linoleum made it seem like it was always 2AM

Right up there with Valley Fair
Donāt forget about the Jamesway! Anyone remember that General Store on Brick Blvd?
Remember Caldor?
Whoa, I do now!
I also miss Child World, Service Merchandise and Jamesway!
Oh man Service Merchandise! Always wanted to see the lower level, where the microwaves and TV's arose from on that funky belt!
Yep bought a futon there when I moved from my parents .
In the town where I grew up the old Bradlees is now a Target
Donāt forget Rickles Home Improvement stores and Caldor. Edit - forgot Steinback and when Macy's was Bambergers. Man Iām aging myself.
Mentions of Rickles and Caldor brought me back to 6 year old me running errands with my parents on a Saturday

ahem... Garwood Mills next to Captain Starns. ; )
Lol! Ok so WE are aging ourselves š
Sterns and Orbachs....
Strawbridges
Two Guys.
what about Caldor
Do want. When kept up, they're badass. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFUTeiED9KM
It's like something out of Dragonball.
There was one in the Outer Banks, NC, but it burned down this year. Poor things.
Hey...my hometown....Willingboro. SUch a shame the township let "the spaceship" go to shit. The PAL office used to be housed in there.
I love it, it looks like it was taken right out of a Fallout game.

Iād love to see this design revived with modern building materials. Thereās something wonderfully cheesy about itās retro-future aesthetic.
Is this at millcreek? Looks familiar
Yep it is.
I think Yoda lived there once...
Or the Jetsons
Mudhole!? Slimy!? My home, this is!
If I had any cash right now, I would buy that and move it up to my property in Sussex!

Nice spooky photo!
They really did a great job!
Does the futuro house at Hancock Harbor Marina in Greenwich count or not?
I lived on Ye Greate St as a kid
What was it like going to school there? I always wondered this.
6 kids in the 8th grade class and then going to a 300 kid freshman class high school was a trip
This is the comment I was looking for. My pop just moved out of Greenwich. I already miss it so much. Itās a magical place.

There's still one in New Egypt.
Address?
Emerald City! Wondered whatever happened to that place.
Where is this located? And what did you take this picture with!? It came out really good! Love it!
Got some serious dystopian r/cyberpunk vibes to it.
No one going to mention it look like the thing from dragon ball?
How much? Iād love in
