God, I can't even remember what was there before Amoeba was there. When I first moved up here it was an Indian tchotchke import joint. But it had a couple other things there before it became Amoeba. I don't think Rasputin's was ever at that storefront. They've always been a couple blocks closer to the University. Amoeba is at Haste and Telegraph.
Kate, it's a small store, but one of my faves from the old days in Pasadena is Pooh-Bah's. Don't know if it's still there, though. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar used to shop there. Which must have been a site because it was located in an old Craftsman bungalow. Low ceilings.
Poo-Bah's either moved or closed. There was a yarn store that took over the cool Craftsman location.
Huh, I didn't even know there was an actual Rhino Records
store --
I just knew them by their collections, reprints and CD sets... which probably makes up the majority of my personal music collection.
Not only have I yoga'd, but I've also shopped for groceries, looked at clothing, and bought some books and presents. Also, there's a new Qdoba Grill in the Porter Square mini-mall, which means I could possibly get some passable tortilla soup on my commute home. So yay!
Bummer. Another memory gone.

Okay, that's why I've heard of Rhino, but not the apparently more successful Amoeba.
If there's anything you want me to look out for, Kat, I'll probably swing by their parking lot sale.
Hm. It's the 21st ish, right? Depending on my schedule, I mght swing by on my own. Don't have anything I'm looking for per se. Just looking.
Rhino started as the store and slowly got into the record business. It's when they became expert at licensing and reissuing records from other labels that they made their name. So it's only the physical store that's closing.
Terry Kinney from OZ, Aurelia?
Cause I like McManus...hell, I am a total windmill tilting McManus. Except for I've never been laid during a hostage situation.
Reason #276 that I love my neighborhood. I was able to get everthing I need from grogery stores, drug stores, and small appliances stores with 2 blocks of my home.
3 loads of laundry are in and I am about to take the garland down to the recycling pile.
Rhino records was bought out by Warner a long time ago.
