| good riddance finally Blockbuster destroyed competition where I used to live. They came in offering higher volume but lower selection- with a much higher price, yet due to branding people went to them, not the little guy(s) in the area. Within a few years, these little stores shut down.
Well I say this is nothing short of poetic justice actually. BB has failed to realize what is next and will now suffer. I hope the owners of at least some of the little stores that BB managed to squash have invested in netflix, redbox, and online-only offerings. Blockbuster Video is done!

Bloom County | We must have gotten lucky in the Dayton area - we have a fairly large independent video store chain still around even though we have a BB locally.  We rarely rent movies anymore though - we go to the movies more than we rent them. Most of the movies I want to see I want to see in the theater anyhow the first time.
