Doesn't smell quite right, but definitely felt like Blockbuster. Tons of older movies you'd never heard of, "new" releases that were six months to a year old, staff of young, bored, disinterested people. And a display of stuff from the 90s like a TV/VCR combo, Crystal Pepsi, and Gremlins on VHS.

I've never been to a Blockbuster with a grassy spot outside the building. They've always been in a shopping center parking lot. Was this always a Blockbuster location, or did they make it a Blockbuster out of some sense of nostalgia?

I’d feel better about the collapse of Blockbuster if Netflix hadn’t also killed its own DVD service.
