Good News

I walked out from Pete's Cafe last night and noticed a cool, small video store opened up next door. I thought to myself, "how in the hell is a new video store opening up with netflix and everything? aren't video stores closing everywhere?"

I peruse around, the shelves are lined with good TV shows and criterion movies, the store is wood with low light.

I ask the guy this very question - when did you open and how do you sustain? He said that it's blockbuster and hollywood video that are really suffering from netflix, that there are people who still like to come to video stores to rent and get ideas about movies to see. Plus, his is the first video store in the neighborhood downtown.

Interesting.
