Some local folks are trying to open a community-based old-time video rental store (DVDs, mostly). I hope this takes off -- if they hit their goal of 10,000 titles in their collection, that will beat the pants off every streaming service.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a “miniaturist” when I grew up. I thought it was a job. My mother told me that it wasn’t, that it was more of a hobby.
