New seasons of hit shows like ‘The Americans,’ as well as recent movie releases like ‘How to Talk to Girls at Parties’ and ‘You Were Never Really Here.’
For several years now, I have heard that VHS is the new vinyl. But aside from the occasional thinkpiece on the topic, I haven‘t see much tangible evidence to support that statement. A couple of the few remaining video stores in New York carry the analog tapes, but there hasn’t been a surge in new stores or specialty shops full of vintage VHS or VCRs. (And I live in Brooklyn; if such a place existed, it would be here.) With a few minor exceptions, I thought VHS was basically dead.
We have four Wal-Mart stores in the immediate area. We have two in Evansville, one in Newburgh and one in Henderson. If you have ever had the misfortune to be in any local Wal-Mart on a Saturday, you know how crowded it is. The reason for the crowd is simply because Wal-Mart is cheaper than anyone else....until now.
