I remember going to a video store in the 90s and was standing on line to check out. A young man in front of me asked the clerk "How old do you have to be to rent a "X" rated tape?" The clerk replies "18". The man puts 3 cassettes on the counter and gleefully says, "Today's my 18th birthday!"

Curious people are stopping at the store to take selfies with the Blockbuster sign and even to shop.
According to this article, in 1989 a Blockbuster store opened every 17 hours. the first Blockbuster store opened in October, 1985 in Dallas. Business life cycle: launch, growth, shake-out, maturity, decline. 33 years for Blockbuster's life cycle.
