Just walked past an old Blockbuster... still has that sign up

Y'all remember Blockbuster, right? Stumbled on one today, well, what used to be one. It's a dentist office now, but they kept the big blue ticket stub sign. Odd how something so small can flood you back with memories. Endless aisles of movies, that popcorn smell... Friday nights were lit back then.

Actually, some of those old Blockbuster stores have become collector’s items! That sign could be worth something, especially to the right nostalgia nerd. Imagine the stories it could tell if it could talk... about all the hands it passed through, the people who touched it, and the movies it once advertised. Incredible piece of the past right there.

Remember the anxiety when you had to fast-forward or rewind a movie before watching 'cause the last person was too lazy? And those 'Be Kind, Rewind' stickers! Ugh, the Blockbuster days really were lit on Friday nights.

A dentist's office? They probably kept the sign so you remember the pain of late fees is nothing compared to a root canal. 😆

Wild how everything's online now. I just stream movies, haven't held a DVD in ages. That Blockbuster nostalgia doesn't hit the same for me, but cool you got those memories!

Wait, they kept the sign? That's some quality advertising for the dentist, 'cause nothing says clean teeth like a bygone video rental store. Might as well get braces in the shape of VHS tapes. 😂

Seeing the old Blockbuster sign is always a trip down memory lane. Just that smell of buttery popcorn they used to sell, idk why but it hit different than movie theater popcorn. Dentist office probably way busier now lol

I swear, every time I see that blue and yellow sign it's like I'm 10 years old again, running to the new releases section. Remember when the biggest worry was if the last copy of your movie was gone? And that beeline to the dropbox with the overdue tape your sibling forgot to return. Ah, simpler times, my friend.
