Well, the once mighty Blockbuster<\/i> chain continues to implode, and this store at The Crossings<\/i> shopping center on the corner of Clemson and Hard Scrabble finally went under earlier this month.<\/p>\n

I was surprised that it hung on as long as it did, especially after the closing of the adjacent Food Lion<\/a> last year. Of course, I'm a little surprised now to see any<\/i> Blockbuster still open -- It's kind of like going fishing and reeling-in a trilobite.<\/p>\n

Commenter Joey points to this story about the store closing<\/a> and if I recall correctly, commenter Andrew pinpointed the exact date in a comment I can no longer find.<\/p>\n

(Hat tips to commenters Joey & Andrew)<\/p>\n

UPDATE 18 October 2012<\/b> -- Commenter Andrew notes below that this storefront was wrapped in butcher paper and marked \"Top Secret\". Well, by the time I got by there, the secret was out: It's to be a gym:<\/p>\n
