I remember how friendly and knowledgeable Charlotte and John were here in the Villages at the Blockbuster in Lady Lake in Spanish Plaines. They closed in 2011. I wrote about it on Talk of the Villages. Lady Lake Blockbuster closing. |
At one time there were 3 Blockbuster stores within 3 miles of my home in Schaumburg. One by one they went away. The last one closed probably around 2011 or 2012.
Hopefully I don't have any Blockbuster DVD's or VHS tapes hiding somewhere in my house that I forgot to return. By now I will have accumulated a lot of late fees.
