I worked at Video Co-op on Greenwell Springs Road. The back room was legit.

Man major video on Perkins was so good. I rented countless cult classics, old horror movies, not rated films, and cheesy 80's action movies from there.

I think Major Video was the first in the area to diversify into used cd sales, no?

Bonus: They were also a Ticketmaster outlet.

What was the video store at Nicholson/bright side next to FQ daiquiris that had all the porn vids? I think it was owned/run by a woman. Super nice, cool lady who brought her dog to work with her.
Never gave you a judgemental look when you were renting a skin flick

Think it was Box Office video. Backroom had a Malcolm x poster on the door. We definitely rented porn while I was in highschool
