What is your song idea?
A mom and pop video store back in the day called "Fast Forward Video" that everyone knew in a small town (Shenandoah, PA) until it closed down due to a bigger franchise video store moving into the town, such as Blockbuster. During this time it was the end to most of all the mom and pop video stores in the country.

The store was run by Frank & Gail. Their children, Matt, Kyle, Tim, & Rick used to be down there everyday helping out, sleeping by the kerosene heater or playing Nintendo in the back. The store only closed on Wednesday's and that's when people use to get to keep their videos out for an extra day. It always opened at 2p.m. The building has since been turned into a nieghbors garage.
