Video Store Day, Post #3
With Video Store Day now done, I’ve written up another related blog about taboo video titles of the era as a preamble to scans from a 1986 issue of Canadian Video Retailer. Also included in the Editor’s Blog are scans of a longer article about ‘knowing your local clientele,’ featuring interviews with managers / owners from three shops in the GTA: the late Video Visa in Thornhill, the late CED rental shop The Video Disc Centre which existed at Toronto’s Union Station, and Mr. Video (which in 1993 morphed into the still-strong Bay Street Video). The entire 31-page issue will be available to read until the end of the month, so check out the blog!

International Independent Video Store Day, Post #2
In Part 2, I talk about the video shops I used to service back when I was doing video duplication & conversion services, and you get to read both a new info rental sheet + full rental catalogue from the oddly titled Shop at Home Video Services, circa May, 1982. Also added: some updates / links to current Video Stations, and a proposed development for Skymark Plaza.
International Independent Video Store Day, Post #1
Yup, it’s coming, and leading up to the 3rd year anniversary on October 19th I’ve started posting little bits & thoughts of ephemera, like the original membership info-sheets from my first local video store, a Video Station at Skymark Plaza, circa 1983-ish.
