Summary: For 28 years, Coral Reiff has gone to Video Wave every day it’s open. She sifts through the shelves for a DVD to rent, grabs a $2 bottle of soda and heads off. Her routine has altered only once, when the Noe Valley store moved around the corner three years ago seeking cheaper rent. But her comforting ritual, like Video Wave itself, is becoming a rarity. In 1988, a couple years before Reiff first walked into Video Wave, the San Francisco phone book listed more than 160 video stores.
