Cellophane Square goes down

[randy_byers]

Local music store Cellophane Square is apparently going out of business. I remember when they started out (at least to the best of my knowledge) in the space that is now a Taco del Mar on NE 42nd St. I've bought a lot of used DVDs from them in the past couple of years. Feels like a real institution is gone.

Yeah, the unwillingness of the landlord to bargain is kind of a WTF, although it's hard to say without details. But who do they think is going to replace them in this economic climate? I liked the joke in comments about how maybe it would become a bubble tea place. Or teriyaki!

I often worry that if i stand still on The Ave too long i'll turn into a bubble tea place!
