As we first reported back on May 16, the city's 34,000th Dunkin' Donuts is taking over the former Norman's Sound & Vision space at 67 Cooper Square.
We happened to notice one small detail of DD's arrival: the door handle…
Norman's Sound & Vision closed after 22 years in August 2012 … with high rents chasing them to Williamsburg.

Donetsk donuts for Normans, Marriott riot Starbucks for bleecker bobs. Citibank for virgin records, ray more and flannigans, mlb, for tower records.
Anonymous 7:33 - Yes, it's the death of music.
what's gonna happen to the awesome floor they had in there?!?
What a sad day.
Norman's was the place. No matter what, any time you walked in the door you could expect to hear some fantastic and unexpected music, often new discoveries. I was introduced to so much great music over the years that Norman would play in that store. Countless hours spent digging through the bins (especially in the dusty basement). Avant-jazz, psyche-rock, dub, electronics, no wave....
Now we can look forward to hearing corporate-boardroom-approved focus-group-tested algorithm-vomited top-40 lowest-common-denominator braindeath from above.
Enter at your own risk.

P.S. If they dare to play Gang of Four in-store, I'll buy a dozen donuts.
I'll say it before someone else does:
D-Day.
(No disrespect by this hyperbolic dramatization intended for those brave individuals who experienced the real D-Day).

I am amazed no one has acid scratchided "ICK" to the right of letter D on that door... totally amazed it has not happened *yet*...
