A little sad this weekend to make my final visit in one of my favorite out-of-town compact disc and record stores. It's closing in one day and I doubt that I'll get back to Beaverton before then. It's been a great source of music over the years, especially for someone seeking Jazz recordings, and a place where I enjoyed getting lost for an hour or two with each visit. I think a community is greatly lessened when places like bookstores and record stores go out of business.
For some odd reason I felt an urgency to get in and out on my final visit. Half of the store was already packed up and ready for the closing. The usual vibe inside the doors was missing. I didn't take my usual notice of the posters on the walls. They must have already been taken down. It didn't feel like a place where you could hang out and discover something new.
