Blockbreaker Video
This location is owned by Dot Rainer. Please make sure to involve her player in any plots or changes involving this location.
It’s a large, bright, well stocked space, shelves filled with movies lining the space with plenty of room for people to move through the space. It’s decorated with movie posters, cardboard cutouts, the odd bit of memorabilia in decorative cases. It’s a warm welcoming space for movie buffs and for those who are just looking for something interesting to watch on their day off work.
Towards the back of the store, near the counter, there is a doorway covered with a heavy beaded curtain that leads to a separate room. This is where the “adult entertainment” section of the store is located. A small, handwritten sign hangs near the door reading, “18 and over ONLY” and this policy is strictly enforced by all employees of the store. Another door, on the other side of the counter is marked “Employees Only” which leads to things like the employee restroom, the break room, and a couple of small offices, one of which is reserved for the exclusive use of the owner.
Purpose / Function
The store is located in one of the purpose built retail sections of Metropolis. There have been other stores there in the past, but Blockbreaker Video has been housed there for nearly thirty years, since being opened by the current owner’s grandfather.
Alterations
The building is pretty much the same as it’s always been, being intended as a retail space all along.
Architecture
The storefront looks like most other buildings in the area. The front windows hold displays of movies which are changed out to advertise new releases or promotions or special events that might be going on. There is a large marquee sign on the exterior of the building with the store’s name.
Defenses
Security shutters that will lock down if needed along with a good healthy business like relationship with the local heroes who have tasked themselves with patrolling the area.
Tourism
People like movies and Blockbreaker Video is the best place to find what you’re looking for. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and very good at matching customers to the perfect movie. Of course, there are several people who find their way to the store hoping to catch a glimpse of its famous owner, since she’s known to spend some time there, occasionally hosting meet and greet events for her fans.
