The Last Remaining Blockbuster
After the non-existent fall of Blockbuster LLC, the company was forced to shut down operations at all their stores but, one person (YodaBest,) after swimming across the ocean only to die and his old nation of Austria falling 2 days after joining it, decided that he had given up all hope, so, he thought "why not steal a vacant Blockbuster building and reopen it" and that's what he did.

TheLoneBlockbuster was sitting vacant until whilst exploring Canada Sharkfynn1012 came across this magnificent structure, and almost immediately knew (after checking the wiki and realizing what it once was) that It had to be made great again. On the 1st of December 2017 Sharkfynn1012 managed to raise Dayzle and together with Gracetherooster and Dayzle's help The Blockbuster was reborn. Areas around the Lone Blockbuster are still under renovation, such as Target Canada which will become the new town centre.
