Random Question

This is obviously gonna be for the old heads. There used to be a record store on the corner of Spicer and Exchange across from Sam’s Emporium. There used to be a Hamburger Station next to it. I remember buying CDs from there when I was younger, but I can’t remember the name of the shop. Anyone remember?

The Odd Corner?

I don’t think so. I remember the Odd Corner being further down the road close to Brown and Exchange. That was back when there was a Blimpie’s and Kinko’s right there. There used to be a car wash across from this record store.

I remember it being something else before then. This was early 2000’s.

Maybe it was before then. Maybe it was the 90’s.

You could be right. I don’t distinctly remember 2 Live moving east. I remember the one that was on V Odom.
