The Zippy’s saga is my favorite story from among the dozens we covered this week.

Especially what emerged in comments and in an e-mail we received after the “opening day” post – the fact that the owner was a well-known punk rocker back in the day.
(Not to mention the fact that WSB readers apparently swarmed the store!)
We usually google people involved in stories as we’re writing them, to be sure we don’t miss interesting factoids like that, but I guess the missing link here was that we didn’t know previously that “Zippy” was his rocker nickname! — TR
