Main Street Video

You can’t get everything off the internet. Main Street Video taught me this with its wide selection of hard (hehe) to find titles. In particular, they have a great selection from Bollywood. I’ve always been partial to foreign films.
Besides the great selection, another great feature at the Main Street Video is the viewing booths in the back. Some people say it’s grungy with off-​putting smells, but I like it. Call me sentimental, but you can’t replicate this atmosphere at home. This is why places like the Main Street Video will continue to exist, because the internet can’t deliver these seductive experiences. If IMAX 3D ever comes to Main Street, I’d almost argue the internet might be in trouble of going extinct.
As a long-​time customer, I’ve become friendly with the clerks at Main Street Video. They always provide great service and help. Even though I’m not part of the staff, they even let me select one of the Staff’s picks. Ask them for Nat’s Pick — and you’ll be sure find a great rental for the night, or purchase for several nights.
Insider tip: there is a laundromat two doors down from the video store, so you can get both your loads done on one visit.

Wow. Am I in Montréal? or is this FOR REAL?!
I think the first time I stopped in here, I was maybe 18!!! I thought to myself «why is that place open so late? and why does it look so creepy?» so I had take a look! It’s a SMUT PALACE! You walk in and there are double ended toys that you don’t find at Toys ‘R’ Us, rubber molds of women’s who-​z-​whats-​its! and an odor I won’t soon forget. :(
They have a wide selection of videos, but these aren’t Disney movies I speak of. :’(and you can preview ANY of their movies in the back room for about $ 5.
The back room is like the Fens on ACID! After handing the attendant $ 3 for Movie Tokens (which is now a minimum of $ 5 for paper tickets) I went in a room expecting to watch ‘Good Will Hunting’ or a National Lampoon’s title, but I found myself in a 3′ x 4′ personal XXX cinema! I didn’t quite understand the buttons on the remote, because the volume wasn’t working in mine, and at one point the window between MY room and the room next to me became clear, and the gentleman next to me was doing something dirty! Not to mention the other patrons were waiting outside of my door, and a few tried to enter like the infected zombies in ’28 Days Later’. :’(They kept trying to help me finish something, but I wasn’t DOING anything!!!
Also, the floor is pretty gross, kind of like an orange truck tipped over, and left the floor sticky … but w/​o the pleasant citrus smell. :(
The most embarrassing thing would have to be walking back to your car. You can park on side streets so people don’t know you’re in there until you exit the building, but doing so would be like admitting you were doing something wrong. :(
