On the main street of a small Saskatchewan town - fittingly in
a building that used to be a movie theatre - sits what may be
one of the last video rental stores in the province.
Earl Hayhurst has run the Video Stop in Watrous for nearly 33 years.
"[I] love movies. Always have. Always will," Hayhurst said. "So
I got into the right business many, many years ago. I still
enjoy it, even though I don't make any money anymore."
"Some of the younger visitors to his store are likely seeing a
video rental place for the very first time, he says.
"They've never seen a video store. They walk around kind of
stunned at what they're seeing. And they don't understand
because they have no concept of it."
[...]
"I've lasted more than 10 years longer than Blockbuster and
Rogers, so there you go."
