Apparently it closed up shop in March :-(
How come this wasn't bigger news??
Was probably NYC last remaining bastion of real house and disco music in
the city
was around the corner from the Paradise Garage - opened in 1978
rent in the neighborhood have increased too much

if you had never been to the shop it was an amazing experience
great service - hand picked selection for you
floor to ceiling records and just the pure heritage and history in that
little shop
a proper House Music Mecca
damn...
