    LOVED the Coney video. It's funny how it probably looks like a slum to the uninitiated, but I watched it with nostalgia. Damn, I love Coney!

    There was a record/CD/tape store on Bleecker near Grove St. Is it still there? There was another on W. 4th near Barrow St. How about it?

    Anon-

    I think you mean Rebel Rebel on Bleecker, and if so, it is still there.

    There was a branch of the mini-chain Disc-O-Rama at W.4th & Barrow for a long while, but that's gone. Their last (I believe) location is on W. 8th near MacDougal.
