  1. I used to go to a small CD/music store on Bleecker, between Christopher and Grove. Is it still there?

    Seeing those matchbook covers reminds me: remember when bars put PLASTIC stirrers in drinks, not those tiny straws? They were very different, various colors, many had name of the bar. They're like jewels. Wish you'd write about them sometime.

    Once again, "goodbye to all that."

    Rebel Rebel shows upon Google Maps if you zoom in on 319 Bleecker Street, but I haven't been over that way recently, so I doun't know how current the photo is.
