The Natural Course of Things

Now here's a business destined to asphyxiate under the avalanche of new movie-viewing technology. And, it has. Royal Video on Flatbush Avenue closed a year or so ago, moving to a smaller location further north on Flatbush. But, boy, it appears as if Royal was a king of the video-rental business during the years that trade thrived. Look at the size of that sign! And the boasts! "Over 11,000 movies." The space was touted as a future bank location at one point. Don't know what the future holds for the place now.
