REWIRE YOURSELF
These days in New York City a fascinating electro-cultural phenomenon is taking place: record stores are empty while there are lines around the block to get into video stores. Companies like Video Shack, First Run, Video Bugg, Video To Go, and The Video Room have sprung up on street corners throughout Manhattan and are doing a land-office business renting and selling video cassettes and video discs to those who have discovered the ultimate form of contemporary home entertainment.

These days in New York City a fascinating electro-cultural phenomenon is taking place: record stores are empty while there are lines around the block to get into video stores. Companies like Video Shack, First Run, Video Bugg, Video To Go, and The Video Room have sprung up on street corners throughout Manhattan and are doing a land-office business renting and selling video cassettes and video discs to those who have discovered the ultimate form of contemporary home entertainment.
Video Shack, with half a dozen stores and over 400 movies for rent or sale, is typical of this shift in home entertainment havbits. For $5 to $10 (depending on the movie and the rental time), an incredible spectrum of programming is available including most of the hottest movies, as well as special interest programming from rock concerts to cooking lessons.
