What place am I thinking of? Elder millennial ex-punk rocker edition
Those of us who were of a certain age in the mid to late 90s, and who were into certain kinds of music, remember going to see shows at the Refuge on 9th Street N. But do you remember there being a small music store up the road a few blocks? They exclusively sold punk and ska CDs and 7”s, iirc. It was on 9th, south of the Refuge, on the east side of the street, which is to say, across the street from the Refuge. It’d be open late on show nights, and kids would go there and hang out, which didn’t seem to be a problem for whoever ran it.
Having looked at the satellite view on Google Maps, I suspect the building it was in no longer exists, and that it was located where the Florida Health complex on Burlington sits (I don't think that was there back then, but I could be wrong about that). Also I wonder if it was located in or near where the original Sake Bomb was.
It wasn't Planet Retro, nor was it Song X Records, which was in what we now call Grand Central. If you don't recall the name, do you at least remember such a place existing? Just making sure I didn't dream that this place existed.
