Netflix vs Blockbuster

wolf · 03-29-2005, 11:09 AM

I have two blockbusters within 5 miles and a Hollywood Video that looks on the verge of closing (although I do like their game section), and ... I believe our supermarkets got out of the video rental business. They needed the space for the expanded tampon aisle. And some natural/organic foods.

I don't remember the last time I saw a mom and pop ... oh wait. There's a couple across the line into philly. They do that agressively non-conglomerate thing there.

(One place sycamore told me about was pretty cool. You call and order your pizza, and tell them what movie you want from the video place next door and they bring both to your house.)
