The closing should have ziltch, nada to do with Metro rail. Last I heard it was cancelled to go down harrisburg. Blockbuster is just outdated not only by name but by today's technology in entertainment especially for the younger set of which the industry is always targeting anyway.
Just a little background when that specific BallBuster (hee, hee) opened it was really nice and modern, little by little it went downhill. Got to the point where almost all films were not in English which "excluded' any bilingual or English only households. Once again stats assumed everyone around here did not speak English hence sales dropped and well who cares right?
Sayonara senor ballbusters!
I was there this weekend and was surprised by the variety (excluding classics). I was actually looking for a Spanish movie to watch with my grandmother and thought that their Spanish selection was pretty small (not even an entire shelf).
In any case, I doubt that many of the people in the neighborhood have the luxury of netflix so it might be a loss for some. That strip center is pretty rough though. My mother and I once found a bag of crack in a parking space in front of Little Ceasar's!
