We had a small local joint.

You had to call and reserve a popular movie.

They had like 1 copy of everything.

I remember walking into my first Blockbuster and being shocked they had like 50 copies of the most recent and popular movies.

Problem is is that's all they catered too. Unlike Mom and Pops stores, Blockbuster had a shitty Indie, International or Classics section.

I grew up in a town 3000 and over the course of my teens and early 20’s we had 7 movie rental places. Movie Gallery was the largest. The rest were mom and pop stores. The last one closed about 8 years ago. I can still drive around town and point out where every one of them were.

The advent of internet streaming services has made things easier, but there is not nearly the satisfaction.
