What I found bizarre about this wasn't that the stores are closing but that one will remain open in Bend, Oregon: Alaska’s last two Blockbusters are shutting down, leaving one in US Remaining stores were still pulling a profit until their last gasp.
I have a friend who lives in Alaska and she was unaware for a long time that Blockbuster was shuttering everywhere else.

Canadian Man Changes Gender for Cheaper Car Insurance In an attempt to save on car insurance, a Canadian male legally changed his gender to female resulting in almost $1,100 in savings. According to CBC News, a man in his early 20's and only identified as "David" wanted to buy a Chevrolet Cruze and was given an insurance quote around $4,500. He then asked the insurer if his costs would change if he was a woman. He was told his yearly insurance bill would be reduced to $3,400, or $1,100 less. “I was pretty angry about that,” David told CBC news. “And I didn’t feel like getting screwed over any more.” When he asked the insurance agent to change his gender on the policy, his request was denied. So instead, he changed his gender on his birth certificate and license by first obtaining a doctor's note by telling the doctor he identified as a woman. “It was pretty simple,” he said. “I just basically asked for it and told them that I identify as a woman, or I’d like to identify as a woman, and he wrote me the letter I wanted.” When David applied to change his gender, he was required to have a doctor's note, but since then, the requirement has been removed. David claims he “took advantage of a loophole” and that he felt like he “beat the system.” “I did it for cheaper insurance,” David said. By switching his gender, David was able to save $91 a month.
