Recently I've been enjoying the short films of Allison Inman; the Education and Engagement Director at our local indie theater powerhouse - the Belcourt. This particular 10-minute piece, Hi Tech Service, is a slice of life look at an electronic repair shop in Nashville on their closing day. It's a heartwarming little look at how a small spot can be an important part of a neighborhood.

As neighborhoods get gentrified and more corporate chain businesses make their way in, we lose these kinds of businesses. It's understandable that Hi Tech Service would close after a successful operation for several decades (you work to reward yourself with non-work) but you lose the personal vibe that actually make a neighborhood. Inman has done a wonderful job of capturing that.
