Been to Eddie Brandt's a few times-- tho obviously not for many years-- and
they really are/were the video store of one's dreams; probably even better
than Scarecrow in Seattle (my current gold standard for video stores). I
found a few VHS titles at EB's I've never seen before or since.
Unfortunately most of their stock was rental-only back in those days. Have
they moved more into retail in recent years?
