[Vision2020] Movie rental places

[Rob Keenan]

Safeway? Netflix? Hastings?

Egad. What about the best video store on the Palouse? (And, in my opinion,
second only to Scarecrow Video in Seattle.)

I'm referring, of course, to Howard Hughes. Locally owned, GREAT selection,
and you can't beat their weekday prices with a stick! (Catalog releases only
99 cents, for VHS or DVD, Monday-Thursday.)

Of course, VideoQuest in Pullman is getting better all the time. But I still
make the trek into downtown Moscow when I want to stock up on weekend
flicks.
