Free Blockbuster Comes to San Antonio
For many of us, a visit to Blockbuster on a Friday night to rent movies was a way of life. You would browse the new releases in hopes of it being in stock alongside a couple of other titles.
Add some popcorn, pickle, and soda at the register. It all made for a perfect Friday night. Some of that experience has returned to San Antonio.
This free Blockbuster has no late fees.
The concept is simple: take a movie and leave one, both DVDs and VHS tapes are available. Here is the cool thing: this free Blockbuster has no late charges, but you still want to be kind and rewind.
This is all part of a Retro Complex in San Antonio called My Weekend World Events Center and it is filled with stuff from the 90s and 2000s with an arcade.

Today's kids will never experience renting a movie.
The anticipation of watching the movie on the ride home. Something that today's youth will never know, and it makes me sad.
