Stages
Macsway Avenue opened with a Rock-afire Explosion show, and converted to Munch's Make Believe Band during Concept Unification in the early 1990's. Pizzacam was removed from this location in late 2005, and Munch Jr. was removed at some point before 1997. The 3-Stage remained in operation until the store closed in 2020.

The animatronics were kept in low-to-average working condition throughout the 2000s, as the technician did bare minimum maintenance on the stage. Some of the lights were wired incorrectly or used the wrong color bulb, and the less-crucial movements/lights would often be disabled instead of repaired (such as Jasper's leg kicks, Munch's foot tap, Pasqually's hi-hat, and the MMBB sign strobe light).

The condition of the stage began to improve drastically in 2010 when the store hired a new technician. Their first priority was to properly rewire the lighting, and to adjust the speed of movements to match the diagnostic tape. Then, previously disabled movements were repaired/replaced and reactivated. The stage was in near-perfect mechanical condition by 2011, which is when cosmetics began to be replaced. By early 2013, the stage was essentially in mint condition, both functionally and aesthetically.

History
notable history, but any big events like a car crashing into the building or someone dying or like something actually cool happening to one of these stores make a seperate header above this.

sub header
events should be segmentable using subheaders since there's possibly a lot of history. Feel free to segment stuff like key moments, phases, stage changes, ect

Videos
These are any videos found of the location on youtube in modern day. Just link directly to the video and give a date, don't worry about making any pages. This is also good, just like the home videos, for making direct citations to claims made in the history section, and if anything notable in the video shows something about its history, it should be described.
