ADVENTURELAND: THEN & NOW
Growing up, I loved movies. It wasn't the acting or filmmaking like others. For me, it was all about the experience. And knew that I wanted to share that.
I loved this video record store. Flipping through those huge discs. It always meant another weekend of movies. While other kids collected baseball cards, I was buying VHS movies.
With a vacant barber shop beside my apartment, I thought I had found it. What could be more convenient? Sadly, that would not be available in time.
I was heading back from vacation with many more movies and fixtures that I would need. My next option was half of a much larger building pictured above.
The owner was using the lower level and back half. Having added more movies, a larger counter, a cooler, and lots of snacks, I needed more space.
I eventually bought the building and set out to design my new store -- an entertainment superstore. A screening room and snack bar would occupy the basement with a video arcade above.
We were thinking about adding video games and DVDs too. Being young and stupid, that pocket full of plastic would last forever. I could dream big and build big for small monthly payments.
Between my lofty goals, personal demons, and the expectations of customers, I bit off much more than I could chew. My empire of plastic would ultimately collapse. Tanking my hopes and dreams.
