and they have a good sense of humor, too.
If anyone knows where my old friend lives, please let me know. It's been too long.

I only know Blockbusters as the names of the Movies that run every saturday
metalfan1986
They are still alive in Anchorage Alaska
Cheomesh
I never had a chance to rent movies.Grew up poor,was poor when I got a job,poor when I moved out,poor in college...then it closed.
LiterallyYourBestFriend
Don't miss Blockbuster in the slightest. Fuck them. Returned stuff on time and would STILL get late fees.
OldeTymeMemry
RIP sweet prince
collinhead
http://www.blockbuster.com/franchise.html shows a bunch of them. Mostly in Texas and Alaska. And a few others.
Sasszilla
Anchorage AK has two
virgil592
We salute you, last Blockbuster. You are the end of an era.

krapmyself
I personally do miss video rental stores. But alas, times change.
Cheomesh
I never really had a chance to get with them :/
MiracleWhoop
Deuceler
There's at least two in Alaska. One in North Pole, and one in Soldotna.
collinhead
On Santa Claus Lane
Nuclearss1
North Pole, Alaska has one.
RampantWolf
There's a Blockbuster in the town of Redmond, Oregon. Still operating.
seventhtry
I have a Family Video in my town. The movies are cheaper to rent and the people are awesome, I just wish customers took tare of the dvds
glassweaver
Ours just has a professional disc grinder and gives them a once over before sending you out the door with them.
theduesdesxd
And here we see the lone blockbuster last of its kind tweeting away life after the tragedy
SickOfThisCessPool
Since these were on the front page (with the location), like, yesterday, you really ought remember.
Pattosaurus20xx
http://imgur.com/77ihsIt the last blockbuster???
psychologicaltrap
Maybe grab some KFC, McDonald's, or Taco Bell while you're there, since they're so close by.
beardedwolf
Looks like there are 10 left, @op http://www.blockbuster.com/#

That's like how the girls that I ask out always react.

It's a museum at this point; I'd pay a fee to enter for the nostalgia
myclevarusername
Edinburg is where the last one of Texas is located.
SaveTheBlobFish
Some times corpses still twitch after they're dead :(
Brucecori2
So I've learned.
Strostkovy
And they stay warm for hours
zged
Yeah, humans are nicely insulated.

Whoops meant to reply to strotspokeoveryevyer fuck that's difficult to spell
coolbeanslooseit
I just miss the adventure of going to rent a movie. Where I lived when I was younger, we had to walk through park/forest and it took like (1
coolbeanslooseit
an hour to get there. We'd buy snacks there and spend like an hour debating what we should rent. (2
quicksilver1
But Blockbuster Uganda is still fighting the NETFLIX LOYALIST SCUM.
arutaki
I can no longer tell who the bad guy is. The whole politics that revolve around Mufasi, Rafasa, and Wengu is insane.
quicksilver1
They can't Tengu the Wengu, so I guess we can start there.
bellaluna
You literally copied my entire post from this morning. Bang up job.
hukopukolukodoso
Reason you didn't get the fake internet points is timing different crowds different reactions unless there are people who browse imgur 24/7

SpecialAgentPinkfinger
When I found this outside imgur, I was surprised I hadn't seen it here before. But i never claimed OC. OC goes to @loneblockbuster.
Lalael
Oh, for sure. I just thought it was funny someone was claiming you ripped them off when they weren't the first to post either. Silly.
SpecialAgentPinkfinger
Unintentionally. Sorry dude. It was new to me. Thought this crowd would enjoy.
bellaluna
I didn't care that much, I really don't know why I commented. I'm sorry.
SpecialAgentPinkfinger
Don't be, we both found something cool! You deserved more fake currency!
SpringToMyWinter
There are apparently Family Videos across the Midwest. Like blockbuster without he huge corporate overhead.
SaticoySteel
There's some in North Carolina. They rented half of their store to another business
reqioeqrwiuoruwiqopeiwuoqr
People outside the Midwest have almost no understanding of the Midwest.
ThaneofGlamis
That is accurate.
DiarrheaTouchdown
I love Family Video, I really hope they stick around forever!
BC2k2
Considering they are constantly opening new stores, I think they will.
DiarrheaTouchdown
I didn't realize they were still opening new ones. Ours has been around for a while now and they've shortened the hours a little.
BC2k2
Maybe they've slowed down then, but last time I saw a now hiring poster at our local Fam Vid, they were filling positions for new stores.
TheBannanaScale
There's still a Blockbuster in Sandy OR, not sure if this is the same one though.
RonSwansonsSwanSong
That's only like 30 minutes away! I'll have to go
IndyAndyJones
Someone once told me people introduce themselves as being from Sandy like it's some kind of excuse. I haven't experienced it myself yet.
TheBannanaScale
I'm not actually from there, I just live nearby
IndyAndyJones
Still a better name for a town than Boring lol
psychologicaltrap
The one pictured is near a KFC, McDonald's, and a Taco Bell. Especially Taco Bell.
TheBannanaScale
Yep, that'd be it, if it's next door to a O'Reilly's
psychologicaltrap
There you go. …but as far as anyone else knows, we could've described a place in any number of towns in every state.
GuyNamedSean
A bit of searching I found one in Nevada, two in Oregon, and one in Alaska.
sebasr2
There is also a few left in Mexico
eclecsys
Not anymore.
Bombpier
Six in alaska actually
perey
Says on Twitter it's "between 3rd and Main in the Oak Lawn Shopping Center". There's an Oak Lawn SC in Chicago, but no 3rd or Main nearby?
Nyoibo83
Given the average internet speed in Australia, I'm surprised there aren't still hundreds of Blockbusters
jimmanybobmcfly
There's loads of those little blockbuster kiosks around. Always mid-aged people with young to teen kids who don't know Netflix exists
Nyoibo83
Netflix is useless with the speeds I have at home :(
RonSwansonsSwanSong
I live in Oregon, guess I'll have to go find one
Overclockworked
My thoughts exactly!
Lalael
Bend, Redmond and Sandy. :-) I have family in Bend and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it a few months ago!
Lalael
www.blockbuster.com 6 in Alaska, 3 in Oregon, 1 in Texas. Must be a few franchises around as well that aren't listed. pretty sure this is IL
fluffOpAnimal
I looked at a list, that's probably out dated, but it displayed a large number in Alaska, and Texas.
bowserdrums90
AWHH YUS THERE IS ONE 10 miles away from me
RaeJazz
Ya, same. Maybe we're neighbors.
Ilikegiraffesandfood
There's one in Cincinnati
GuyNamedSean
Where?
ThunderfuryBlessedBladeOfTheWindseekr
I second this
Ilikegiraffesandfood
Dang I just looked it up and apparently it's a "Family Video" at Werk & Glenmore in Western Hills. My bad, not a Blockbuster.
SpecialAgentPinkfinger
Oh man my wife is gonna be so mad when she finds out our next vacation is going to be to go to Blockbuster.
ThatsMySecretCapImAlwaysHorny
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4445082/Blockbuster-video-rental-chain-12-active-stores.html you mean Alaskan tour?
Residoodle
There was two less than 10 miles apart in Alaska. One in Kenai, the other in Soldotna. Kenai shut down and is becoming a Restaurant.
907JesseJones
There is still one in Wasilla
GlassCannon570
One is still operating in what was Wallachia.
Residoodle
Soldotna blockbuster is still running. This is also a huge spot for tourists in the summer months because of the scenery and Salmon fishing.
Orginskadots
Right. "Scenery" and "salmon fishing".
Residoodle
What?
Orginskadots
We all know why people really go there. Rentals
CigaretteMan
Shit, I'd still go to a blockbuster if they had reasonable deals. Lot of shit that's hard to find on the streaming services.
DeletedProfiles
This ^^ They could diversify into specialist genres

dotslashsandwich
But what if you want it nooooooow ??
EternalSunshineofthePotlessMind
I still go to the Family Video down the street. It's pretty fun to just browse for a new movie.
soulstare22
bru just torrent it
djcount
Try redbox. Reasonable deals, convenient, and shit you can't find on Netflix.
MegaDeuce
Yeah redbox really was the last coffin nail for blockbuster.
JeremyBeadlesHands
If you're in the UK, Amazon bought lovefilm, and you can still rent DVDs (& blu rays) from them
monsto
If there was a store that had shit like C.H.U.D., Top Gun and Ironman, I'd go just to see what shitty movies I could get for the giggles.
Fion26
Don't you ever put Top Gun and shitty movie in the same sentence!
Thecynicalspud
Top Gun was sitting beside a shitty movie.
Mountainjew89
You just did though...
TheGalacticLeprechaunwithtinynipples
Seems like he went right into the DANGERZONE with that comment
monsto
Holy crap... I fatheaded... meant to put "CHUD instead of Top Gun and Ironman". It says the exact opposite of what I intended.
conniecpu
A lot of shit *is* available if you have netflix's DVD service still, I just can't justify it for the occasional movie they can't stream
CigaretteMan
I guess that's an option, I've thought of doing that for series, just a little to apathetic
LetsDeviledEggHisCar
Netflix DVD is still a thing??
ChimneyImps
Yes, it's just a separate service now.
Cheomesh
Yeah, I have a coworker who doesn't do internet who gets them.
KaterinaLucia
What job do you have where your coworker can afford to not internet?
Cheomesh
I'm in IT;he's a government lieason for some technical aspect of our project.Very outdoorsy,makes real money.Does not have internet.
Felman
...No internet? So he just goes outside? What a weirdo. How does he get memes?
