It was actually donated to the Blockbuster in Anchorage, Alaska a few years back, which closed down about a year later. Not even the power of Russell Crow's jock strap could keep them in business
Idk how i remember this but when I was like 7 years old every Friday night my uncle would take me to blockbuster to pick a PS2 game or a movie for us to watch then we would go grab some pizza. I miss being a kid
Young people cannot possibly understand the nostalgia tied up in this. Mom taking you to rent a movie (or a video game) on Friday afternoon when mom and dad were going out that evening. Date nights consisting of dinner, then the video store to find something to watch together. So much culture, so much human experience disappearing to the relentless march of progress.
Bend, Oregon! I’ve driven by it once and thought I’d have time to go back and visit. Sadly, that didn’t happen. It’s only a 3.5 hour drive from me. I’m guessing that’s an expensive round trip at this point. 😰
I had gone to one in weslaco texas a few years ago. It was definitely just an odd drug front. The workers cared even less than normal video store workers
Because no other Blockbuster is left open, this is the very last Blockbuster store left in business, when we started going digital, the rental services for movie stores started to become a waste of money if everyone had Netflix, are you in 1998 by any chance?
Please note these rules:
If I were the owner I’d turn these into museums of old days pop culture and keep them open somehow, why tf not.

Take my upvote, that’s brilliant.
I still have my blockbuster card
Same. Got mine somewhat framed is it’s in a frame with a bunch of other flat nic nacs and old custom credit cards and stuff
Do they still have the Russell Crowe jock strap? Yes that's a thing
I didn’t see that but I’ll check when I return the DVDs in 2 days

I think they only rented that to bring in people. There's actually a documentary about this.
I miss those stores, my mom would let me rent PS1 games there iirc.
I can smell this video
I worked for blockbuster when I was 18-20 and it was one of my favorite jobs.
Same! Watched kid movies all day. Learned DOS. Worked with the coolest people. One of the best. Miss it those good ol' days.

Thats rare as hell
Bend, Oregon, US
I’d like to go there one day just to see if it really smells the same as I remember.
Where is this?
Bend Oregon
Why do all those books have pictures of movies on them? And why are they all thin and the same thickness?
Still a couple floating around nz.
That one closed 2 years ago

Looks like every Blockbuster I went into. What's so IAF?
