Recently I have noticed some construction work going in there behind the curtained windows.  A couple of days ago it became obvious that someone is moving in &#8211; most of the walls are painted in bright green.  That&#8217;s a good enough sign for me.<\/p>\n<p>Today I caught a couple of guys that were working in there and I asked them what they are opening.  They said &#8211; &#8220;DVD club&#8221;.  Surprisingly, I started to feel very very glad.  I don&#8217;t know why that happened.  I was never excited about someone&#8217;s office opening next door.  Plus, I do use services of another DVD club which is 5 minutes drive from my place.  Anyway, somehow their answer made me happy.  I confirmed with them that they are going to rent DVDs and that blew my roof off.<\/p>\n<p>These guys are virtually on the way between my flat and my car.  There is no way I can get home without passing by their shop and getting a couple of films to watch.  This is so great that I do have troubles expressing it.  I guess that makes me a hardcore movie fan.<\/p>\n<p>The works in the shop look to be coming to an end and some furniture is already in place.  I beleive that I have even saw a computer box marked with HP today.  That means that they are openning really soon.  I cann&#8217;t wait.<\/p>\n<p>I also hope that since they are a startup they will be more responsive to customer requests such as a website with online catalog and DVD booking system.  That is so easy to implement and it makes life so much simplier that I am shocked to see that not so many shops implemented it.<\/p>\n<!-- google_ad_section_end -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!-- google_ad_section_start -->\n<p>One of the ground floor offices in the building where I live haven&#8217;t been rented for years.
