Video Rental Stores: The Friday Night Ritual of Choosing Just One VHS | Do You Remember These?

Video Rental Stores: The Friday Night Ritual of Choosing Just One VHS | Do You Remember These? Before streaming, before Netflix, before you could watch anything instantly from your couch, Friday night meant one thing: pile into the car and drive to Blockbuster. You'd walk through those doors, smell that distinct video store smell, and start the hunt. New Releases first. Then deeper into the store. Action, Comedy, Drama, Horror. And you had to choose. Just one movie. Maybe two if you were lucky. The whole family had to agree. Do you remember the negotiation? The browsing? The disappointment when every copy was rented? The late fees you swore you'd never pay again but always did? This is the story of video rental stores and the Friday night ritual that streaming could never replace. What was your go-to section?
