Competition For Snuffy Smith

It used to be a Blockbuster Video store. It's becoming a wine shop, called ThunderRoad Wine and Spirits. And the theme of the store is moonshine. The article says that "the store will feature a huge moonshine display where a car looks like it has crashed into the wall and moonshine is placed in the trunk." Which is what you want as liquor store decor, a reminder of what'll happen after you consume the product and drive. A separate topic is what they're doing with the empty Blockbusters, Circuit City stores, and other establishments that have closed. Driving around Vegas last week, the still-empty Circuit City and Ultimate Electronics outlets were striking; I'm not sure whether they'll ever be used for anything again.
