it'll be opening in another spot in Hollywood somewhere but i'm sure they'll be gone for a few months at least while setting up.

Oh I didn’t know that! Have to make a point to get out there and check out the new digs when it’s done.

no idea where it will be located but i feel like it's gotta be pretty close to that. they just need to find another sizable place with a decent lot.

Was always a bit miffed that Tower and allsuch stores went bust but Amoeba was able to have such prominent real estate. The vinyl heads tend to more trade in than put in. My guess is Eagle Rock, over on whatever that main drag is. Yorke. Havent lived there for years but remember lots of tenants splitting on the raising rent.

We are planning to move to a new space in Hollywood in about another year and will let everyone know when we have news to share.Please read our full update: https://t.co/8GdZmJbUTk pic.twitter.com/gNCxEAda3Z— Amoeba Music (@amoebamusic) June 26, 2019

Warren from Little Ax in Portland OR has moved to the city next door to me in Springfield and opened a store there, supposedly tons of African records but I have yet to make it in.
