A few months ago (August) I moved to downtown Madison from the far west side. I decided I wanted to experience the metropolitan life. *laugh* (Madison only has ~200,000 people)
Well, I had to find a new cookie shop, grocery store and the like and have done pretty well. I have also lucked out because my PKS and NRS used to live downtown and have lots of suggestions on places to see and people to go.
Since I moved, they have asked me, on several different occasions, if I had rented a movie from the 4 star place. I kept having to say no since I found netflix I do not usually have to leave the house for DVD's. Well, the dvd-of-the-day, children of the lost city, or something like that was cracked, and my PS2 kept saying "can't read disk". go figure. (you would try to play a cracked DVD wouldn't you?) Since I was all wound up to watch a DVD, and this was a DVD emergency (at least level orange) the rental place popped into my head. A quick call to NRS and PKS and I was all set with directions on how to get to the video store six blocks away.
Now I realize why they kept asking me if I had gone. That place is HUGE! Besides that, all the movies are alphabetical in their category, so the XXX version of Debbie Does Dallas is right next to Disney. Amusingly enough. That was not the best part though, what was most remarkable was the stock of foreign films. I love watching foreign films and this place is a gold mine. Thanks guys!
one stone skipping.:
Well, you finally went to heaven! We’re glad to hear you had an exciting visit…and plan to possibly return again some day! I mean where else could you compare the cover pictures of an instructional anal sex ‘how-to’ and Disney’s musical Anastasia, but heaven? No wonder people plan ahead for the trip. Happy New Year!!!nrs - 01 January '04 - 07:22
