It's been a while since I've been in one, but I believe you can rent movies and games from them.

Yeah, but you don't have to leave your house to do that.

Absolutely.

With any movie/show instantly at my fingertips, I just don't get excited about watching anything. The whole experience of once a week getting to go there and pick out that one special movie made the watching experience so much better. Instant gratification is not always a good thing.

If any younger members want to experience what a movie rental store was like, might want to visit soon.


Just don't return it late or you'll have to take out a loan to pay the fees.

And it was a beautiful thing. You could pick out any movie you wanted. And it was yours for 2-5 days. That feeling of renting a video game and playing it nonstop for a weekend.
