The Grasshopper didn't actually dive for this treasure (?) trove of VHS titles*, but I did find three of these shipping cases right next to the dumpsters this afternoon.
Apparently, they are remnants of a apparently-now-defunct VHS-based "On Command" hotel pay-per-view library. My particular case was addressed to The Carmel Highlands Inn , with a "Deliver By" date of 6/29/05.
How did these videos manage to end up at the Hermitage Arms Apartments? Did someone steal them and subsequently realize that they were worthless? Were they discarded by my now-ex neighbor who (along with her yappy little rat dog) moved out this weekend? Or, had they been sitting in someone's closet and gotten tossed in a fit of Spring cleaning?
The truth is out there. Way out there, most likely.

Gosh, there are some pretty good titles in there. Still, "VHS." I suppose these tapes are in pretty funky condition, all things considered.
The light blue color is intriguing and amusing in and of itself - that's part of what made this such an interesting photographic subject.
Kind of like a (very) poor man's HAL memory core.
