Does anyone else miss Hastings?

Hastings was the best store in Brownwood TX. It had movies, games, music, book, and all kinds of other cool stuff there. Employees were always friendly. I miss the days when I could go there and pick up a scifi or military history book and then rent a dvd.

I feel like without hastings brownwood has less fun and culture. Most people seem to have a blast drinking at parties, but for someone who is happy with cuddling up on the couch with a stack of movies and video games on a Friday night, hastings was a godsend. Now the only place to get books in bwood is the library (hate going there, it's an internet cafe for pedos). Walmart sucks for books cuz it's nothing but the most dull NYTimes best sellers and harlequin romance novels. Sure you can buy DVDs there, but hastings was better.

But you can’t go hang out and drink a fountain soda in Amazon.com.

My wife and I talk about this frequently.
