Norman's Sound & Vision is for rent

Earlier in the week, our friend Alex at Flaming Pablum brought the news that Norman's Sound & Vision was closing and moving to Williamsburg ... the Brooklyn location is open, and now the Cooper Square storefront is for rent...


The East Village location was expected to close in August.

Meanwhile, not necessarily newsy, but the Rockit Scientist space around the corner on St. Mark's Place is also for rent. Rockit closed last month, as Jeremiah first reported...


We're hopeful that owner John Kioussis will decide reopen somewhere else in the neighborhood when the time is right ...

There is now only one record store left on St. Mark's Place

Good luck to John, here's hoping Rockit Scientist reopens somewhere else in the future.

This makes me so sad.

There are no more public browsing places in NYC. Everyone is at home, glued to their computers with no face to face interaction!

I always liked to go to Norman's on my way home from work to replace my old cassette collection with CD's. The clerks always had some great tunes playing...

Good luck Norman.
