yep youre right. Alfalfa video, not Blockbuster. What was the sporting goods store?





All I remember back then in that center is Delchamps, K&B, Godfather's, Hallmark, Alfalfa and around the corner was a pretty good Tex-Mex restaurant. The KFC across the street was awesome as was Nooley's down the road a bit...Sorry to see that area turn shitty.

The college drive one was on the corner of college and Perkins, where the Walgreens is now.

Pretty sure they had one near Greenwell Springs and Oak Villa/Joor.

They also had one in Central near Walmart (Sullivan and Wax).

You understand that you can now watch movies on a Netflix or one of those streaming services.

VHS and Betamax have been gone for awhile.

Nope, that was Video USA. I used to manage it, and if that midget manager of the GNC next door that ratted me out for running to Raising Canes to grab a lunch one day happens to read this, I’ll end you. 20 year grudges die hard.

The sporting goods store was Alexander’s Sporting Goods which was owned by Charles Alexander. I don’t remember him owning a restaurant.

I remember the video store being Video Visions.

The original pizza place was a called Cassano’s or something similar. In the mid 90’s Sammy’s had a location in that shopping center as well.
