Maybe you recall that back on September 15, Elm Street-based Blockbuster filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a little heads-up that, oh, just maybe it would shutter by the end of 2010
somewhere between 810 and 1,560 stores-- it all depends on how you define "shutter." (Some brick-and-mortars could be converted to outlet stores of some kind.) Since that initial announcement, nothing -- till today: John Wright at the
Dallas Voicehas received confirmation that the Blockbuster at 3911 Lemmon Avenue -- "known for its GLBT-interest section" -- will be
adiosed by January, with its farewell preceded by a clearance sale that's already underway. I drive by this Blockbuster all the time. I thought it closed years ago. I mean, look at the parking lot. It's
alwayslike that.
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
