I'm preparing to move near the end of October.
I was weeding through my stuff,
when I came across my old Blockbuster card.

I wounder if the account associated with this card is still active?
:hehe

Blockbuster is still in business.

Mostly in Texas and Alaska, but can be found in these other states, as well ....
North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Oregon, Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida, Kentucky and Indiana.

Google helped me. :clap

Oh man that brings back memories.
of having to go to the store with friends and pick out a movie and agree on to rent....that was the highlight of the many eventful evenings.

Wallace, you weren't too far from me when I lived in NY - 108th Street off of Queens Blvd. near Austin Street.

Remember Blockbuster well - still have my card somewhere here too.

It's a small world.
I lived on 47th street near 51st road.
On the boarder of Woodside and Sunnyside.
I worked in Maxwell Furniture on Roosevelt Ave in Woodside for nearly 15 years.
Road my bike to work every day,

except for Sunday.
Until I moved here to AZ about 6 years ago.
I use to visit that BlockBuster a lot.

I rarely went to BB, but did so a few times. The last time I went to BB, I rented the Steven Hawkings movie, A Brief History of Time (yes; it was quite a while back; lol). :)
