Nice guy who ran a nice business with nice people working for him. It was inevitable. His store will be missed.

Buggy whip store closed too. Times change.

Just another story about how locals figured out how to send their money far out of the community. Like shopping or working for large companies. People don't really care.

It's not that. It's just that technology makes renting videos unnecessary. Not personal. Just business.

My family rented from Nolan "Captain" Video for many years and enjoyed the store's candy jars and atmosphere. It is too bad it is closing but with on-demand video we haven't rented a dvd in years. It is a testament to the owner and employees, and the personal and friendly that the store stayed open as long as it did. Thank you for a job well done!

Is there any word about a future tenant?
