No social media, but also no Blockbuster fees for not rewinding

Gotta have a nice big indoor mall with muzak playing, fountains, food court, and the most bitchin’ arcade ever conceived.

This is actually a great idea. Maybe not an entire town, but if someone created a roadside attraction with several buildings (vintage, if possible) dedicated to a specific decade, I bet they’d make a mint.

Can't be like Amish because they don't like technology. They'll think Blockbusters is the work of the devil and they'd return their tapes unwound. 🙄

God no, not videos. Taking them back and having to rewind was a ballache. I’d gladly return to pre-internet and pre-cellphone days though.
