I vaguely remember heading to my local video store and browsing the aisles for a movie. It’s sad because when I was younger, heading to the video store and getting a VHS (yes VHS!) was the highlight of the weekend. I remember walking down the aisles and checking out all the video boxes and making mental lists of which video I would get next time. I can’t even remember when the change was made to DVDs, but honestly I loved the simplicity and durability of VHS tapes. My kids will never know what a video store is, but they will definitely remember us heading to the local “red” box outside Walgreens and the grocery store to pick out a movie. Don’t get me wrong I love Redbox and with On Demand and Netflix nowadays, there are so many movies available, but to me getting rid of actual video rental stores is like getting rid of a library! I mean you can get books online and a book stores, so why do we need libraries? Because we do!
Redbox is cheap though, you can’t beat $1 a movie! So while I can’t give you the experience of walking around your local video store I can give you the gift of a Redbox movie.
