Family Video is about a minute or two away by car. Depends on whether or not you get behind some d-bag that doesn’t know how to drive on the way there.

I am not aware of any in my neighborhood. There is a Rexbox thingy at the CVS, though.

Our local video store just got kicked out because, no joke, the next door record store had gotten so popular that it wanted to annex the space. The other local video store appears to be doing fine though. Did I mention I live in hipster central?

There used to be a place here that had tanning, sex toys and rented porn DVD’s. I had an ex-GF that had a membership there. It was called Video Zone and Tanning.
