I posted several posts about St. Marks Sounds over the years and when it was revealed that it was on the way out (see below). Like so many other vanished locations from my youth, I was still drawn to the place, even after it was gone. Only last week, for example, I had my kids reprise the photo above from a couple of years back with this update.
But today, whilst walking east to pinpoint the Tony Conrad spot, I glanced up and notice that not only was the big "FOR LEASE" sign gone, but so were also all the old record covers that used to cover the windows.
I assume this can only mean that a new business — or possibly just a new resident — is ready to take possession. I guess we'll see what happens next.
Sigh.
