Bklink: Another One Bites the Dust

February 1st, 2008 · 2 Comments

Another Carroll Gardens small business is in its last weeks. Hole in the Wall Video on Court Street is closing in March. It has been there for two decades and will be closing its door for good on March 19. “During those years, my kids went from renting The Little Mermaid to checking out Deadwood. Back then, Key Food was still its neighbor and VHS was still the standard. Their original space was right next door, in a tiny store barely big enough for two rows of shelves. Hence the name. When they moved into their present location, it felt huge in comparison. We all cheered when Blockbuster, just a few blocks away, packed up and left, while Hole In The Wall survived.”–Pardon Me for Asking

    Now maybe they will sell me their copy of L’Avventura. They are nice people, though, I never rented from them, I did buy old VHS from them. Let the betting begin on what will move into this hole in the wall…very sad. Long Live the Mom & Pop…!!!
