I can't say how heartbreaking this is! We have been HE patrons for 10 years since we moved here. We did briefly consider Netflix. While Netflix is more convenient (esp. when you're trudging through the snow to return a rental) and can be cheaper in some instances, the selection at HE is better for harder to find movies. But most of all we figured we valued supporting Davis Square's local businesses and the human social interaction innate to getting to know our neighborhood.

Ben (ocd81), thanks for the shout-out to your customers, it is nice to hear. We will continue to support you guys in Porter Square!
