I find Ann Arbor to Indianapolis to be about 5 hours or so.

okay kiddies, here's the buzz on the galleria mall:
miami moon went under for drug sales.
the building's owner just jacked up the rent, and tower records said fuck you,
burger king said fuck you, and Noggins Hair salon will be moving two doors
down as well.
That's the story according to my friend corrinne, who works at noggins

All of the businesses in that mall always seemed marginal to me, except for
Tower and maybe Noggins. None of them was ever crowded, and with the double
whammy of no parking and a greedy landlord, I can see why the businesses would
give up. Serves the greedy bastards right, though. Instead of higher rent,
they get no rent.

UM is taking over the space for offices. The greedy bastards will get even
more money now.

The only CD stores I patronize now are those that sell used CDs. (Remember
when the RIAA tried to shut them all down?) I do sometimes buy new CDs from
them if I see something I want, but if I'm looking for a specific album I
often buy it online.

Pity about the comix store, though. They had neat action figures.

They'd been somewhat marginal since the original owner sold out
and moved away. Also, the collectible trading card business which
was a big part of the store's core business has had some shakeups.
At any rate, it's a hard business to be in, especially in this town.
With the exception of Dave's Comics, which lasted a little longer,
all of the Ann Arbor comics stores I can think of have been really
hard-pressed to make it to the five year mark..

How many years have Underworld and Vault of Midnight been open? I thought the
Underworld is over 5 years old by now.

i miss dave's comix. joe was the best comicshopguy in the history of
comicshopguys EVER.
curtis at vault of midnight is pretty damn cool, tho. blonde haired
chap. if you're at all interested in 'twin peaks', just bring it up to
him, he'll jabber about it past closing time.

Ohm, that is sad. I wish that Josie Packard had gotten more
character development. The log lady too.

"Twin peaks" sounds like a topless bar.
