Every Picture Tells a Story: 8/12/09

The sign from the first video store I ever went to when I got my VCR back in the late '80s. My first three rentals: George Romero's Day of the Dead, the least of the famed director's zombie films (you can read my review of it here); The Hidden, a much better action/horror film; and Sex Star, a porno starring Kimberly Carson, an actress who started out in low-budget teen sex comedies and subsequently moved on to, um, bigger things.

The store had been closed and vacant for years, but the sign was still there--until about a week after I took this picture, when it was finally removed. An Italian specialty food store now occupies the space.
