Eddie's trip down memory lane (or at least Kossuth lane) is at least as horrifying as Ben's if not moreso. It's another case of visiting a spot where he had some solo joy, only for IT to come by and fuck everything up with lepers and corpses.
Kossuth lane is home to an old shipping yard where Eddie used to watch older boys play baseball, and sometimes go after fouls. As an adult he sees that the place has been abandoned, by owners and shipping company alike.
IT comes as the leper, as the owner of the business, and as a girl that Eddie sort of knew and fantasized about, all dead and rotting. Unlike Ben's encounter, IT doesn't emphasize that IT will kill Eddie if he tries anything. I'm not sure if this is because IT thinks Eddie can't hurt IT, or because IT knows IT will end up killing Eddie. Spoilers: of the reduced loser's club, Eddie is the only one who dies.
It's another short segment, but a nice jaunt to classic King-style creeps.
Next is Bev, who may have my 'favorite' solo encounter.
