Movie Place, another local good experience
Here's a great experience on Manhattan's Upper West Side: quoting curbed.com,
The Movie Place is the quintessential video store with an enormous selection of videos and dvds, including classics, esoterica, foreign films and documentaries, not to mention all seven seasons of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer.' The staff all seem to be film fanatics, the prices reasonable, and the store delivers and picks of rentals in the neighborhood.
There's only one problem: rising rents are forcing it to close next month, after 23 years of operation. More at Curbed: Movie Place to Shutter.
If this sounds familiar, it's because I recently wrote about the beloved La Rosita's impending closing, too.
With more resources, I might form a holding company for these wonderful local spots - restaurants, bookstores, movie places, and the like - nationwide, and then use the advantage of national reach to benefit these family-owned good experiences.
