A good article. I wasn't aware that Bleecker Street Records nearby was going to close--I was in there on Saturday and I didn't see any sign of that. At this points, it's got a better stock overall than Bleecker Bob's has had for awhile, though some of their prices are questionable.

There's one error. It's stated that the Bleecker Bob's opened at this location in 1981, but it was a little later than that. First, there was punk/new wave/reggae store called Bonaparte's, which opened there in 1981 may have lasted a year or two. Bleecker Bob's was in that space by 1984, however.
