Storm’s silver lining: it boosted Video Americain’s business in a big way

Toilet paper wasn’t the only thing Roland Parkers stocked up on Friday, as the storm approached. The Cold Spring Lane branch of Video Americain was, uncharacteristically, packed.
Since the advent of Netflicks, video-on-demand, Hulu, etc, our favorite musty House of Film has been struggling. Maybe this unsually snowy winter will help them hang in a bit longer?
The Charles Village store was open today and will be open tomorrow. I think it’s funny that press coverage is always about the Roland Park store — the one on St. Paul is just as great and always seems packed to me.
