blockbuster

The experience has started touring around the U.S. with racks of movies you can take home.

I am a fan of technology and admit that movie streaming is convenient. However, I do miss the excitement of new release days back when video rental stores flourished and Illinois apparently feels that way too as there are now 6 free video rental boxes around the Land of Lincoln.

I miss the days of old school video rental. This current generation will never understand the thrill or disappointment of finding (or not) the latest movie release behind the box in the video store. There are still two Blockbuster video locations surviving in Missouri - sort of.

What if I told you that Blockbuster was back and it's free? That really is true, but it's not in the way that you think. It's not the old brick and mortar video stores, but blue boxes that are now popping up all over the country including Missouri and Illinois.
