I've locked onto some Led Zeppelin lately...

The music section was near the entrance, and was redolent with the old time musty smell of record shops. The new location is laid out like a supermarket, and is a complete borefest.

We used to have a bookstore like that here in Wichita called The Green Dragon. It was an absolute labyrinth with crazy twisty aisles and hidden alcoves. Unfortunately, the owners relocated about 20 years ago. Our Half Price Books is like the new location you described - laid out like a supermarket, tidy and squeaky clean like a Barnes and Noble. I think they are a national chain so probably laid out based on a corporate model. Apologies to Raymond for hijacking the thread

"Put On the 2`nd side of Led Zeppelin 4 ", one of the best scene in "Fast Times" is when his buddy actually does it. Classic.....

Except they cut to him playing Kashmir from Physical Graffiti. That always bugged me.

No problem - I'm enjoying all this.
