Read an oral history of the great East Village zine shop See Hear

A weekend read for your consideration via Animal New York. Freddy Alva delivers an oral history of See Hear, the (late) great zine shop down a few steps at 59 E. Seventh St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue.

Alva, a one-time employee, spoke with owner and founder Ted Gottfried as well as co-workers Reuben Radding, Chesley Hicks, Rob Price ... and longtime customer Thurston Moore. Find the post here. 

The shop was around from the mid-1980s to the early 2000s... including a brief revival on St. Mark's Place. Alex has a tribute from 2013 to See Hear at this link.
