Oh,
Crystal Video, how we shall miss thee. The little video store with shelves full of specialty-and mainstream-DVDs and VHS tapes is gone for good. Missoula voters loved this Hip Strip shop because of its staff of personable and/or quirky video clerks, neighborly appeal and bizarre collection. Now, it’s gone-as this category may be-as we usher in a new era of Netflix, movies-on-demand and Redbox.
