FEELIN’ A LITTLE…..NOSTALGIC? Well, there IS something you can do in Bend that you cannot do any other place in the world, and that is to visit The Last Blockbuster on Earth. It’s true, right here in Bend, Oregon! I did not believe it until Rhonda pulled into the lot and we jumped out for a photo op (of course, people were watching so we wanted to get the shot and depart). At their height of video store popularity, BB had about 9,000 retail locations; now the lone survivor is in Bend. Later that evening, I caught, ‘The Last Blockbuster’ on Netflix, streamed on an iPad, of course. It brought me back to a simpler time when Miranda and I would go to BB on a Friday evening. She would head over to the children’s films while I was usually hanging in the Documentary, Subtitle or Rom-Com section. I agree with the film, BB provided a sense of community, a place where younger adults got their start in the work force. Simpler times, indeed. Thank you for the great photo as a reminder, Rhonda, and for being Bend’s Best Ambassador Ever!
