The music store from which I bought my first LP went out of business long ago, but I've found that the building it occupied is now the location of something called the Lizard Theatre Company.

I find it difficult to wrap my head around the idea that Alhambra, once the epitome of a dull, whitebread suburb, is now home to a theater company and a museum dedicated to beatniks. It should have had something more interesting than The Hat when I lived there.
