Temple Blockbuster?

user submitted pictureIn a strange reversal of Bay Area real estate fortune, a Palo Alto Orthodox minyan now has a place to call home: the former site of a Blockbuster video franchise. Congregation Emek Beracha co-president Jonathan Novich calls the strip mall locale a “healthy step up” from their former digs in the basement of an office building, and after 25 years of wandering through the craziest real estate market in history, nobody cares if people try to slip a DVD through the mail slot. Now that South Bay Jews can call Friday night “Blockbuster night,” there’s no word on whether the synagogue will charge an exhorbitant fee if you’re late for services.
