The death of Records in JC

I've been dealing with the imminent closing of 2 spots in Jersey City. Both dealers a re great people and have heat. Iris Records will be closing at the end of March, due to slow sales and the further gentrification of the area. Dude was only open an Fridays , but he always had heat. The other closing is Stan's Square records. This store has been a fixture in the community for over 30 years. Dude even put out my 12" and helped in the careers of ever artist out of Jersey City since The Manhattans. This will leave the 2nd largest city in the state without a outlet for music, new old or otherwise. Anyone else live in a area without a record shop, because to me that seems strange.

    That sucks, I'll miss Iris.

    Only place to buy music on the Upper East Side is at a Best Buy or stores like that.
