The 1990s were undeniably awesome! From movies and music to clothes and trends, everything seemed more magical back then — especially design choices and home decor. I say this as someone whose dream home is the McCallister house from Home Alone, but ’90s decor and architecture felt SO homey. Luckily, however, some ’90s-era buildings have managed to stay untouched by the passage of time. So, without further ado, let’s take a look at a few of these “time capsule” buildings:
1.
I can practically smell the Gordita Supremes in this Taco Bell:
“Yo quiero Taco Bell,” indeed.
2.
This “time capsule” library looks more like a mall for books:
I would spend at least three days in this place.
3.
This Sparkle grocery store should have been a Supermarket Sweep set:
I don’t care what decade it is, I would always be up for a visit to “A World of Cheese”:
4.
This Target snack bar has remained beautifully unchanged:
5.
This theater in Battery Park should still have showtimes for Clueless or The Matrix:
6.
If you listen closely, you can still hear “Barbie Girl” and “Cotton-Eyed Joe” at this unrenovated skating rink:
7.
The Wendy’s that time forgot:
8.
Move aside, Ariel, this is a very big mermaid at a throwback gift shop in Kissimmee, Florida:
It’s truly a thing of beauty:
9.
This dorm bathroom hasn’t been updated since 1996:
Why does no one have pastel tile these days?
10.
This office’s elevators definitely belong in a ’90s workplace drama:
11.
This laundromat got stuck on the “’90s cycle”:
Seriously, this looks like a place where two Nora Ephron movie characters would meet for the first time:
12.
This Pennsylvania mall would have been *THE* hangout spot in the ’90s:
13.
This mini arcade hasn’t been touched since 1997:
14.
At this Burger King, it’s still the ’90s every day:
15.
If you book this German hotel, you can time travel for free:
16.
This waiting room is still waiting on the new Millennium:
So much gray, so little time:
It’s giving Finding Nemo:
17.
And finally, this theater still has its ~magical~ squiggly carpet:
