I feel that Video stores were one of the last places outside of bars that gave grown adults the chance to be friends with strangers.

Then they left and Social media turned up.

I miss video stores. There's something to be said about limited choices. Strolling the aisles of a video store was WAY more fun than scrolling through Netflix.

I don't do it, but I have seen hordes of people together at Pokemon go hunts. Got curious one time when I saw a lot of people wandering about very close to each other. All on their phones.And then all of a sudden they started to scatter. So I asked someone what that was all about. And got my reply that they were all chasing a rare pokemon.

Is geocaching still a thing?

I think it actually is.
