Useful Addresses

The Virgin Megastore closed, shot down by the economic crisis... Another history page that sadly got turned over!

 

Music is certainly easily accessible (sometimes, it is even too simple...)

For our favorite singers from France, Germany, Spain..., Amazon is the most convenient  and effective way to buy their CDs. Yet, some local stores make a point of offering a pretty wide range of music styles, not only including British Pop music.

 

 

Chain stores and online video rentals

 

Netflix

A monthly flat rate, DVDs by mail, pretty wide range, on-demand internet streaming videos...

Very affordable service (monthly fees below 20$) and quite convenient process.

Specialized in the history of California and the American West.

With the tradition of the super heroes, the Fantastic 4's and other Marvel characters, comics stores are quite different here from their european counterparts.
