Sign of the Times... . Jet Video, iconic video rental, ice cream shop, and postal center all rolled into one is closing after 25 years in business. The present owners indicated streaming services like Hulu and Netflix are just too much competition. . Jet Video is the last family video rental store in the Portland area but offered so much more to the neighborhood than just video rentals. Its corner spot on Stevens Ave, near schools and favorite restaurants and within walking distance of several Portland neighborhoods, assured its place in the recollections and memories of both locals and visitors from away. . You could bet on any given night you’d run into someone you know outside on the bench or standing around eating ice cream as everyone caught up on the latest about each other’s families. . Unique neighborhood gathering spots like this are quickly disappearing from the American landscape. So many are gone already. . . #jetvideo #stevensave #iconic #neighborhood #corner #hangout #icecream #portlandmaine #coastalmaine #getoutandexlore #citylife #lifeinthehood #streaming #netflix #hulu #closing #exploretocreate #nomadlife #ontheroad #cornerspot #thingsarechanging #signofthetimes #homogenizationofamerica #itsallthesame #localidentity #summertime #portland # (at Portland, Maine)
