Blockbuster is shutting its doors.

Blockbuster the once popular video rental chain is putting the last nail in their coffin. The company has seen a steady decline in business over the last 5 years and has not been able to compete with other video services such as RedBox or Netflix. Blockbuster's mail services and streaming services simply were not able to compete. Blockbuster shuts downBlockbuster announced that they will be stopping all retail and mail order services next January. Blockbuster was bough by Dick networks in 2010 after going bankrupt. This purchase included roughly 300 locations both domestic and internationally. This shutdown will result in the termination of around 3000 jobs. The Blockbuster streaming services will continue moving forward. Dish says the Blockbuster franchise will stay open and that they will retain all licensing agreements with Blockbuster. For Dish users this included 15 movie channels with thousands of movies. With old relics like Blockbuster finally disappearing it makes me wonder what will happen the the video world next. How will we see Netflix and Amazon grow in the next 10 years.

All over America, formerly prosperous communities are being transformed into crime-infested wastelands of poverty and despair. Of course the most famous example of this is Detroit. At one time, Detroit was the greatest manufacturing city that the world had ever seen and it had the highest per capita income in the entire country. But now it has become a rotting, decaying hellhole that the rest of the planet laughs at. And of course Detroit is far from alone. There are hundreds of other U.S. cities that are suffering a similar fate. In this article, the focus is going to be on Camden, New Jersey, but the truth is that there are lots of other “Detroits” and “Camdens” all over the nation. Jobs and businesses are leaving our cities at a staggering rate, and what is being left behind is poverty, crime and extreme desperation.
