Totally Awesome Totally '80's Pizza!

   Last month JER and I drove up to Fort Collins to pay a visit to a totally awesome pizza restaurant that goes by the name Totally '80's Pizza.

   Or rather, JER drove up as I sat in the passenger seat making conversation and staring out the side window at stuff I never noticed when I was a regular driver.

   Totally '80's Pizza is a small restaurant located in a shopping center in Fort Collins, Colorado, at 2567 So Shields Street, unit 4C. The restaurant is fairly unique in that it doubles as not only a place to get delicious pizza, but also as a museum that houses the world's largest collection of 1980's Pop Culture memorabilia.

   Alex Graham is the man who spent over a decade collecting the memorabilia that is on display - his love and enthusiasm for all things '80's (as far as Pop Culture goes) is pretty much totally awesome.

   The place has been featured on a couple of local and national television shows and there are a few short videos posted on You Tube (including a clip from the History Channel's featurette) that showcase some of the exhibits.

  Here are a few of the pics from the trip JER and I took for your viewing pleasure:









   Totally '80's Pizza is packed with '80's memorabilia - these pics are just the tip of a big iceberg. Most of the displays will trigger memories galore, especially for Gen Xer's. For the younger kids most of the displays will trigger a lot of questions regarding their parents (or grandparents!) fashion sensibilities and taste in music.

   One thing there is no question about though is how tasty the pizza is. JER and I split an extra-large "New Wave Rave", which we totally devoured.
