Sadly, five record stores closed here in the last year... Tropicalia in Furs, Gimme Gimme, Norman's, Rockit Scientist and Big City Records.

Sound Fix in Williamsburg says:
What a great run we’ve had here at
Sound Fix. A successful move bisecting slices of time right there
on Bedford Ave. and then a long block away, watching the street and
neighborhood change with increasing speed and—well, what to say
other than that change is the true nature of things? I don’t think anyone
here is looking at Sound Fix’s closing as a failure of any sort. We succeeded
for nearly a decade in a financially savage landscape in a city with piles
of great and unique record stores. And, needless to say, we couldn’t have
succeeded without you, our great and loyal customers. So, thank you.
Our last day is tomorrow: Record Store Day. Yes, we deliberately chose
tomorrow because we thought it would be a swell idea to part on a day that
celebrates record stores, ’cause they’re worth celebrating.
