Even The Last Frontier can't escape the march of progress. From Blockbuster Alaska's Facebook page:

To all of our valued customers,

We regret to inform our customers that Blockbuster Video will be closing both the College and Debarr stores starting July 16th. We will reopen for our inventory sale on Tuesday, July 17th at 12 noon and will run through the months of July and August. These are the last two Blockbuster stores in Alaska that survived and it is sad to say goodbye to our dedicated customers. We have thought of you as family for the past 28 years. Both Kelli Vey and I (Kevin Daymude) have been with the company since 1991 and have had great memories throughout our career. Thank you for sticking by us throughout all these years. I can’t tell you how much it means to us. We hope to see you at our stores during the closing, even if it’s just to say “Hello”. What a great time to build your media library and share some Blockbuster memories with us.
We will miss all of you!

Thank you again,

Kelli Vey
District Manager

Kevin Daymude
General Manager

God I remember the time I rented a Simpsons DVD from here I never watched, then proceeded to forget to return it for the next week or so...

Oops.
