How far a drive was your video store?


Mine was 8 minutes growing up. Not bad if you're in the mood for a movie, a real pain in the ass if you realise you have a video to return and you're not getting anything out.

It was 1/2 mile up the road

Had 3 or 4 within a couple miles of my house growing up.

5 minutes bike riding

We had 4 video stores in my small town back in the 80s. I lived about a mile away. One of them is still in business.

reply

what town & what's the moviestore called ?

reply

Depending on which part of my life, anything from a 5 minute walk to a 10 minute drive.

Had one that I could walk to, and then it closed, but there were a few others which were about a 5 bike ride. Then when Blockbuster moved in and put some of the smaller ones out of business they were between a 5 - 10 minute car ride.

One was across the street and the other was up the block.

There were two stores within a mile of me.
