It's now a mattress store that is very obviously a former Blockbuster. Sad, I miss Blockbuster even though the prices were high. I loved when my parents would go and let me pick out a PS1 game instead of a movie. Had great times with Ace Combat 3.
It was a party goods store
Now its empty
>>68986086
>>68986117

>>68986086
>>68986117
Ok which one of you lives in my town?
it got turned into a dollar store that went out of business now nothing is there.
>>68985879
Turned into a dollar store where all the local druggies/welfare leeches hang out
It's just an empty building now, which really bums me out.
I used to bike down there every day with my friends one summer when I was 12 and it was great
>>68985879
it became a rug store
It became a Bar/Liquor store
Mine has been empty for years. Strange thing is is that its in a very busy and populated mall. Must be haunted.
dry cleaner and a radioshack
it was a big blockbuster
>>68985976
Is Detroit really a shithole?
>>68986086

>>68986014

>>68986245
Presumably a breakfast joint
>>68986240
Naw senpai, it's tight as hell.
>>68986086
Yup same here
who here found blockbuster to be too expensive?
sucks being poor, I found bb to be the cooler joint tho
Became a chase bank I think
They still exist here
Car wash.
>>68985879
It's a furniture store.
>>68985879
There were two near by me growing up:
The stand alone location became a mattress store
The one in the shopping complex became a Verizon Wireless store
Strip club. The wings and sluts are on point too, it's one of those classy joints where they fire the ones with c-section scars so you know it's good.
>>68986245
Some kind of breakfast/brunch joint in AZ.
>>68986245
This shit is my kryptonite.
Local Hollywood Video was split into two. One side is a Party City, the other is a Del Taco.
>>68986174
This is my post
>>68986117
I'm 920
>>68985879
Worked there briefly. It became a pub.
>>68986152
613?
Shitty looking daycare center.
Still empty
All the video stores in my hometown still exist. I have a friend who works at one and he says they barely scrape by because old people don't understand the internet.
ours is a vape shop. it has a storm trooper with a tie-dye shirt on in the window.
My local branch was eventually turned into a decent Asian restaurant, after a stint as a run-down tanning salon.
The one in my town now sells electric appliances. The blockbuster sign was replaced with a Samsung sign I think.
>>68986370
>renting games
lel , that feel. It actually backfired tho, I rented metal gear solid and beat roughly 85pct of it before returning.
My parents got it for me Christmas surprisingly and I apologized and had them return it
>>68985879
Was a Movie Gallery and became a laundry-mat.
So glad they're gone now. I had nothing but issues with them anyway.
>>68985879
Got converted into a We Buy Gold place. And by converted, I mean they just set up some tables at the front door and left the rest of the place empty.
It became a boxing gym.
Firehouse subs

KEKED BY FIVE GUYS
>>68985879
We never had a blockbuster around here. We had what I assume is a small local chain called flick video and they are all still open. The closest blockbuster was like 45 minutes away and now its a furniture rental store kek.
It was a shoe place, but that closed down. I don't know what it is now.
>>68986568
>furniture rental
Why? You an get a couch from the thrift store for 50 bucks.
Tobacco / vape / marijuana addict tools shop that has already been shut down twice that I know of for them selling drugs out of it, plus the terrorist motherfuckers that run it openly sell shit like bootleg Jordans and Louis bags right out in the open.
The first half of the sign got cut off and it became a "Price Buster," some sort of discount store I think.
>Hadn't rented a game from blockbuster in ten years
>fallout 3 release
>fucking sold out every where
>find one copy stuck behind another game
>go to rent it
>new mandatory fucking cocksucker credit card policy
>fallout 3 was literally in my hands and fate shovels shit in my face
>try to haggle with the clerk for a few minutes
>bitch won't budge
>throw the case in her face and smash the concession stand
>kick the freezer over
Good riddance
it is now a spin cycle studio
Empty shell for 5 years and then torn down
>>68986619
they are places where you can rent items at exorbitant interest rates. much like cash for gold, liquor stores etc, they profit off of the poor and stupid.
Some kind of oriental pottery store
>>68986657
The average 35 year old /v/ poster everyone.
It became a toys r us
>>68985879
It turned into a furniture store, which has also closed down now.
>Kids today will never know what it felt like to wait a whole week just to see one fucking film or rent one game
The hype was unreal
it was an independent video rental shop for a few years, now a tanning salon.
>>68986651
Kek, that's some quality jewry right there.
>>68985879
It became a Verizon store a few years ago.
Abortion clinic. I think I've been there more times to get a plan B pill prescription or to have a future degenerate vacuumed out than I ever did to rent movies.
>>68986788
I see your antisemitism and raise you: it was "nigger rigged"
Verizon store
I hate phone stores, such a wasteful use of space
>>68986883
fake and gay, im disappointed that you went to these lengths for such a bad joke
>>68985879
It never existed.
>>68986916
Real. Abortion is legal and the right thing to do you dumb fucking bible belt conservacuck.
>>68986886
Well played.
matress firm.

Became a mattress store and now its some sports apparel store
>tfw rented Dead Space and the store closed down before I had to return it.
It became a physical therapy office
Skyline chili
ill take it, their chili is good as fuck
>>68985879
The liquor store took up some more space from it, and the other half is a Sprint store now.
>>68985879
One became a drugstore and the other one is empty .. Pretty sad tbhh
>>68985948
Same here. I think there's a Chipotle in the other half of it.
Taco Bell / KFC. Way better than shitty blockbuster was, I couldn't get a chicken quesarito and some mac and cheese at Blockbuster ya feel me?
It's a party supplies store now. Working at Blockbuster is where it's met my wife. I drive by it 5 days a week.
It's a gym. Which is odd because it wasn't terribly large to begin with.
>>68987201
How much does she weigh?
They split mine in half. Pharmacy and a hair stylist.
>>68987064
Wow, you're one of the lucky ones. They barely have any stores. No clue how 99% of their stores can vanish while the company still remains alive.
Both of them still have the Blockbuster signs up. One is a beach goods store for tourists. The other is overgrown with creepers and palm fronds. I remember buying Toy Story and Toy Story 2 during their clear out sale.
>>68985879
Hardware store first and then later the McDonalds next to it just expanded over and added a huge indoor play area
Thread theme song.

>>68987268
You couldn't handle that data.

>>68986240
No, but it's within spitting distance.
>>68986370
573, sorry.
Bulk Barn
Fuckin' love Bulk Barn
The local movie rental place is actually still alive.
The hollywood video is dead, the blockbuster is dead, one other local place is dead, but there's this one rental joint that refuses to die run by some gooks.
>>68986497
Yeah, it was the same way for me. I almost never finished the games, but made too much progress for it to be worthwhile to actually buy the games.
>>68987064
Texas?? And mine just closed down this last month, was still going there on and off with family and friends due to them not having good net and not wanting to pay for netflix.
>>68987117
513?
Laundromat and a Chinese takeout
Not blockbuster but the video store in my town became the office of the luxury car repair garage next door to it. I dont ever remember seeing a blockbuster where i grew up
>>68985879
They turned it into a woman's only gym.
>the large glass windows are blacked out "muh judgement free zone" sign in them
>>68987634
Adelaide straya
>>68985879
now they call em "the B store" here
>>68987474
No, I probably can't, but I'd still like to know.
>>68985879
It's a Jimmy Johns, tax preparers and tanning salon.
The next nearest one became a dollar store and the next after that was knocked down to build a new McD's.
>>68985879
its a version wireless
One became a mattress store.
The other one became a porn/XXX store. Some senile old lady went into it thinking it was still a Blockbuster months after it changed and had an actual heart attack in there from the shock. The owners of the porn store felt bad and sent her a gift package at the hospital with flowers, a gift card for the store, and a 7in vibrator. It was on the news and everything. The daughter was pissed as hell.
>>68987201
Is she a big girl?
>>68986435
Would you like playguard with your rental, anon?
It became a Rexall.
>>68986240
Detroit once had a population of 2 million.
Now it's about 700,000.
Until just a couple years ago, it still had housing standing for almost another million people.
The federal government finally stepped in with funding so the can knock down hundreds of structures a week.
Large swaths of the city have very little city services.
>sketchy water
>sketchy power
>snow plowing
>40+ minute wait times for police
>entire areas are not on any regular police patrols
>long wait times for other emergency response
>dead bodies sometimes found laying in the open after having been there for weeks/months
>street maintenance is abysmal to nonexistent outside of the business/government center
>crime rate it insane (and if most black people reported crime, many of them would be entire orders of magnitude higher)
And that's just the tip of the shit covered iceberg.
>>68985879
It's a 24hr gym for people to better themselves. Sickening.
I worked at 5 different video stores over the years. My first became a gym, my second a really dumpy thrift store, third I believe was bought to expand a bike shop, 4th a book store, 5th a liquor store.
Before anyone asks, stores 1-3 were my first job, asst manager position, and store manager position and stores 4 and 5 were when the chain I worked for went under and I went to uni.
>>68987670
God that's a lot worst than mine. At least men and women can exercise together at mine blo
>>68987861
>7 in vibrator
Holy shit these people are top notch
>>68985879
It became a small doctor's office.
>>68985879
thrift store
Half of it's some shitty clinic and the other half's vacant.
>>68985879
Became a Titlemax. You know that loan office which gives you like 10% the value of your car?
>>68985879
My blockbuster became a hardware store. I bought some s from there about 2 years ago
>>68988087
I travel for a living - Detroit is one of the most interesting cities in America, in part because of all this. The abandoned Hudson plant is one of the strangest things I've ever seen, and the difference in view between the north side of 8 mile and the south side of 8 mile.
Became a nice sushi restaurant, which in turn caused several other sushi restaurants to pop up in near vicinity.
Worthy sacrifice, if you ask me.
>>68991460
I know what you're talking about but they are illegal in Pennsylvania. As soon as you cross into Delaware they have a bunch of them though.
