i just made my very last trip to eides.  if it were 1992 i would have been happy to walk in the front door and just hand over all of the contents of my wallet for everything on my list of must have it now music.  but reality slapped me in the face on this past visit to PA.  i used to schedule regular meccas to this record store because it was crawling with cool books, magazines, vinyl, helpful and cool staff -oddly enough, one of the employees was the drummer on a cd i was on the hunt for.  i probably made his day when i asked him where i could find it.  but times have changed, i have witnessed the demise of all record stores for that matter.  for christsake, they were selling weird wreaths with artificial flowers and ribbons that someones grandmother probably made.  turning away from that i saw a rack with a bunch of thrift store clothes on it?  come to eides for all of your comic books needs, by all means.  when it comes to music and records and the first floor of this store, close it down already.  thanks for the memories.
