The San Francisco Chronicle has rounded up a listing of what amounts to a health report on local independent record stores. Some common survival themes include giving up on the younger crowd who are just going online for their MP3s and focusing on customer service and specific vintage collectibles and memorabilia. The article reminded me of the map of Cambridge and Boston my brother gave me when I went to college. It pinpointed his favorite used record stores and formed the basis for many off-campus shopping trips. I dug it out from my college files, put the scan up on flickr, and did a little web research to see if any of them were still in business. A surprising number still are.
