"You used to be able to spend an entire day on campus," Geoff Merritt ruminates with me over coffee. "It's not a destination anymore." That's a shocking realization, but hard to deny, coming from the owner of the last remaining cultural hub in the bar, restaurant, and new monolithic apartment building zone that once hosted a movie theater, record stores, bookstores, a video arcade, and numerous other fun places to stop. Now Merritt's store, That's Rentertainment — an excellent video store featuring foreign films, music videos, independent films, documentaries, and everything Blockbuster doesn't and does stock — seems to be the last oasis of intelligent consumption left in what was once a thriving cultural center.
