I know most of you probably don't go to a brick and mortar movie store anymore but just a heads up they are closing the Blockbuster over on West Gray. Last day to rent is this Sunday then they will start selling off their inventory until April 15th.

Call me old school but I liked having the blockbuster online deal and being able to go to the actual store to swap blu-rays out.

Thanks!

Any insight on status of Beeper Depot kiosk at the mall?

well dammit! i live right there within walking distance. i usually go to the redboxes at walgreens or kroger, but if they don't have the movie, i resort to blockbuster

Ha, that reminds me, I have a customer who works over at MD Anderson in TMC. I was trying to get a hold of him the other day, and he told me that his cell phone doesnt work all the time out there, and to try him on his beeper next time. He gave me the beeper number and everything, and I was too embarassed to tell him that I will never be contacting him on his beeper. I dont even know how they work, or how to 'beep' someone.

Been awhile but if memory serves, you dial the number, it rings once, then you'll hear a beep or several beeps. After that, enter the phone number you want them to call you back at.

I'm only 35 but I feel 65 just typing that.

There's a Blockbuster on West Gray?

The Blockbuster on Fry Road in Katy is closed and the building was bought by Spec's YAY!!!

Sorry I live behind the times bud. I'm sure you are too busy banging out young coeds and drinking gallons upon gallons of liquor to ever have time to rent a movie.

This board is just full of young go hards.

Panama Red aka David Carr is the number one smartass on the board. It's an honor to be the subject of one of his smartass quips.

Is the Blockbuster at Cavalcade and Main next to go? Hope not...

Indeed, you can't truly consider yourself a patron of the Tine board until you have been ridiculed with a few witty one liners by one of the Panama socks.

I saw a sign that one in La Marque is closing. It said this store only.

There is a pager store on Westpark (or was in July when I took this pic):

Pagers and AC. It's a good life.

David Carr is strat62

Those posters are complete polar opposites.

Why did you take a picture of that in July. Mad random.

Because it made me laugh to see a pager store in 2011.

Is this hotel pager friendly?

Ha...we were just talking the other day about this. Wondering how in the hell that Blockbuster was still open. No more!

If you are cool though you put in something funny for your call sign when you beep your buddy. Like
2318008 which is boobies upside down.

35007 = loose

I always wanted a chick to page me with that, but it was always my dumb friends.

That video store on waugh is going to be killing it now.
