Long before this was Wildside Smoke Shop, it was Emerald Video. After being open for 19 years, Emerald Video closed in 2008 "due to the changing nature of the movie rental business". That was replaced with Midnight Muncheez in 2009 ("a late night food and party delivery service"), which was soon replaced with Hooteez Goodeez (a similar service that included a "Booty Call Special"). Then the smoke shop.

Before this location was Emerald Video, it hosted the Isla Vista Foot Patrol for a while.
