    @blogdiva @claralistensprechen3rd Yep, I went to a Blockbuster in 2005 in Pleasant Hill, California.

    @blogdiva @flipper WOWzer. They declared bankruptcy quite a bit before that. That must have been "the mother ship".
    Radio Shack went belly up quite some time ago too but it found new life as an on-line vendor, so I suppose it's all possible.

      According to the interwebs: Blockbuster reached its peak in 2004.

          20 19 out of 20.

          Edit: I don't think I sent a postcard. I bought them as souvenirs, but didn't send them.

            @bipolaron @bryanredeagle your privilege is showing. i taught high school in the 1990s here in nyc and not all our schools had internet access. certainly not in Puerto Rico. and yes, we were most likely in college or a job in legal or finance if we were using the internet BEFORE the web. the www isn't the internet. i had to telnet and gopher to do searches for my academic research.

            when it comes to gadgets, old and new obviously coexist. when it comes to the internet? that’s the divide.

            @blogdiva @bryanredeagle NYC schools didn't have internet connections in the late 90s? I'm surprised Indianapolis was ahead to be honest, but thanks for the insight. It always felt like we were a decade behind.

                      @blogdiva @Shards In this era of enshittification, I'm back to paying our rent by check. Our building switched online payments to Bilt, which looks like a vibe-coded security nightmare/credit card scam, so it's time to return to the 80s.

                        @bryanredeagle @inthehands @blogdiva @Shards I actually ran a dialup BBS node on a party line for all of a hot minute. My neighbors must have hated me.
