What good is Blockbuster when streaming exists?
What good is Toys R Us when kids don’t play with toys anymore and I definitely can’t afford to obsessively collect toys like those who came before me?

I think the last one finally closed a few years ago.
I've checked on google maps it's still open
I miss video rental stores.
The exploration, the smell of fresh popped popcorn, the excitement.
