Another part of Austin dies, September 2020 edition

I Love Video, the oldest indy store in Austin has decided to call it quits which is a damned shame given how movie friendly (or fanatical) the city is. I’m also pretty bummed because these guys managed to outlive Blockbuster and Hollywood as those two behemoths went down the crapper a few years back. The people who founded the place have a humongous collection of material (the Austin Chronicle said 130,000 movies on tape or DVD, no mention of laser discs), much of which may never make it to streaming since every time a new medium/distribution comes around, rights have to be renegotiated. I hope some benevolent person or organization can save what I Love Video preserved.
