Renting Movies Just isn’t the Same…
Remember when you actually had to go to the video store to rent a movie? It was an event. It was part of the night. These days in the midst of a blizzard or even a little bit of rain, you’re grateful that all you have to do is walk five feet to your coffee table and grab the television remote, and in four or five clicks you’ve got the opening credits rolling. Of course there’s something really nice about that, but it’s just not the same.
Sometime in the 1980s mom-and-pop video stores started popping up in every small town in America. You knew the guy behind the counter and he knew you. There were rows and rows of VHS cassettes displayed along the wall by genre. The movies sat there like caged puppies at the shelter just begging you to rent them. And if you were lucky, you got to stop by the store on the way home and pick up some popcorn and candy.
