  Great story!
  I spent a pretty penny at Penny Lane/Easy Street back in the day. One of the highlights of my youth was meeting Sir Mix-A-Lot at the old store up the street. I am so happy they have been able to survive all these years.

  I think we call them albums these days. iTunes does anyway!

  People still read the Weekly? They’ve been delivering fewer and fewer issues to the store, and the stack seems to get less attention every week.

  I’ve actually started reading the Weekly again – it seems to be getting better.

  I adore Easy Street on LQA. The staff is stellar! Amazing selection. I also adore the Easy Street Cafe over here in West Seattle, but the staff of the record store over here could use some personality. They are rude and can’t be bothered to help anyone. I have seen many a consumer leave empty handed for this very reason. Maybe we need Matt to hang over here and keep an eye out. We deserve a better staff.

  My usual reaction, to being reminded of a certain event, is “Wow! It’s been that long ago already? Seems like just a year or two ago!”

  However, my reaction to being reminded of “The Cafe” opening up is more like “I can’t believe it’s been that recently!” It seems like it’s been around for ten years or so now.

  I’ll need to pay them a visit one of these days. Been awhile since I ate there.

  I agree with muziklover. The staff at the W. Seattle branch can occasionally be indifferent at best. Sometimes I feel as though I’m inconveniencing them just by making a purchase. I wonder if most staff is shipped in from other parts of the city or if most are W. Seattle residents?

Sorry, comment time is over.
