The video store next door closes down

Here's the truck about to empty out all the contents:


They weren't THAT great:


There wasn't really any warning - there was no "we're moving soon!" or "going out of business sale" (like at Borders, our favourite bookstore in Flint, where the entire chain has gone bankrupt) - today was the first sign I saw and they're already closed! Rumour on the street (i.e., Jami's mother) is that they were robbed one too many times at gunpoint. A comforting thought, considering we're right next door. I wonder if anything will replace them. They opened up pretty much exactly when we moved in, so we never got to experience the previous tenants, a much-loved local market, whose owners retired childless.
