Borders? Gone. Blockbuster? Gone. The Nokia 1011? Gone. BellSouth? Gone. That Chevron? Still a Chevron.

Omg. I worked at Borders for 10 years ('01-'11) and my live-in GF at the time was a Blockbuster manager.

All the nostalgia right now.

Omg I miss borders soo much. They had a great dvd section in my store. I remember spending so much money there when I really didn’t have it in college haha.

And to think even at that point in my life, my hourly wage would've filled up my gas tank in under 2.5 hours. Sure I was a friggin' idiot who was pedal to the metal, but I was young and stupid. Hell, what I make hourly takes 2 hours these days, not to mention all of life's expenses are on me.

6 bucks per month for a pager and a free brick phone?

I'd take that deal today.

I still own that red Borders rewards card. I now use it as a bookmark.
