I miss independant shops more. I still remember when my dad didn't believe they would rent videos for so cheap the first time a video shop appeared. he had to put a deposit of $100 for a VCR and show them his social security card (he was super paranoid about that kind of stuff) to rent a unit. That night we watched young frankenstein and dirty harry. He bought a VHS player the next week. One thing I remember a lot about my dad is he always had a thousand dollars in his wallet and would tell me anytime someone wanted to fight him he would say "I've been working since I was 14 and have had a thousand dollar bill in my wallet since 1972, if you think you can take it from me let's go outside" He grew up in detroit. I'm pretty sure he still has that thousand dollar bill in his pocket.
he also freaked out when nintendo games could be rented. I still remember playing goonies 2, zelda and metroid with him. mapping them out and beating them with him.
