Vinyl Destination

Record stores aren't quite dead. In fact, they are coming back.
I did a page one story about record stores in our area for the Journal News. 

The latest addition to Hawthorne’s diminutive downtown is a blast from the past, but one that looks well positioned for the future.

Big Jim’s Records opened in April, selling those big, round vinyl discs from yesteryear. A record store may seem as relevant in the internet age as a Fotomat, but owner Jim Gibson said business is cranking.

“Word got out quickly that there is a record store in the area,” said Gibson, who is 50. “It’s working out very well.”
