Honestly, what more can I say about Sounds Familiar<\/i>? I've written about it here<\/a>, here<\/a>, and here<\/a>: Nice Columbia based record store chain that had a good selection, and knowledgeable staff but fell victim to the Internet revolution as did most record store chains. This location, on Parklane near Columbia Mall, was the penultimate one to close, leaving the Rosewood store alone for the last month or so. Note to the almost antique \"cassettes and records\" slogan given on the sign. I wonder how many of either they sold in the last 10 years?<\/p>\n

However little else I might have to say about the chain, I will say that today was a magnificent day for taking pictures, especially if you like clouds -- and I do!<\/p>\n

UPDATE 6 June 2018<\/b> -- Well, I'm not sure that La Roca<\/i> ever opened. At any rate, it is not there now, and the place is now Parklane Mini Mart<\/i>:<\/p>\n
