Also spotted was an elderly woman throwing deviled eggs at passing cars, but that’s not inexplicable. She has her reasons.

I remember a time when there were many businesses that were “Something and Video Rentals.” Frozen Yogurt, Italian Deli, books, etc., all with a video rental annex. And just as many video rental stores. And then DVD rentals along with that. Then Netflix and later streaming came in and the video rental businesses have progressively died out since the 2010s. And Amazon and eBay with affordable pricing also helped.
