Farewell, Videomat

Posted on 1:57 PM by Unknown
With my favorite video store closing its doors after 25 long years of excellent service, I decided to hop on the Netflix bandwagon. From this day on I rent my DVDs either through the mail at great bargain prices, or at the public library for free. I certainly won't darken the doors of Blockbuster for ridiculous prices and incompetently unalphabetized chaos; they never have half the films I'm looking for, and their days are numbered anyway. Netflix's service is simply amazing.

But I'll miss my trips to the local store. Rest in glory, Videomat, and best of luck to managers Kevin and Dorothy. Nashua won't be the same without you.
