Rock stores in the mall - 80's

[King_Nothing]

Hastings started out in Coronado Center Mall in Albuquerque and then moved to a location as big as Tower Records. It was every bit as cool as Tower.

The General Store had all the tapestries, bluelight posters, pins, etc. but that wasn't at a mall.

I loved the General Store, that's where we would get concert tickets and discounted band shirts for around $5. I moved away from NM for a few years and when I went back to visit in the mid 90s, it seemed like they got rid of most, if not all of, the music stuff.

Yeah once grunge hit all that was cleared out.

Best place near me was in a small strip mall and it was Rockit Records in Nashua, NH. It was the best store and had everything. They also had a calendar right as you walk in that had all the new release dates on it. I miss it dearly!

I forgot about Rockit, I would go to the one in Saugus. Greater Boston had tons of record stores, both chains & independent, & most all had tshirts, clothes, accessories etc. of some sort. There was a place called "Stairway to Heaven" (you had to walk downstairs as it was in the basement level) in downtown Boston & they had all the Heavy Metal stuff.
