Blockbuster Express

    Does this remind you of something?  Maybe Redbox......hmmmmm.  At first glance it is a wonderful idea, that is only possible with the advent of the DVD and modern electronics.  Underneath all of the glitz an glamour is good old fashioned American downsizing, similar to huge cuts in labor in the car industry in Michigan, loss of jobs during the financial crisis, and the loss of jobs in the field of construction after the housing debacle.  I can only imagine the amount of jobs that were lost when blockbuster closed their stores.   The video store is definitely one of the things we will miss from the American Iconography.
