Business On Sonic Boom Leaving 15th Avenue
Posted by Grant Brissey on Thu, Jun 25, 2009 at 12:42 PM
Since I Live less than a block from the 15th Avenue Sonic Boom, I have mixed feelings upon learning that it's moving to a new location (on Melrose between Pike and Pine). On one hand, I'm obviously bummed that one of the best record stores in the city won't be within a stone's throw of my front door, but on the other hand, I'm relieved that one of the best record stores in the city won't be within a stone's throw of my front door. When I do have money (rare), it's all too tempting to part with it there, and when I don't have money (most of the time), it's fucking torture to walk past that place almost every night. In all seriousness though, Sonic Boom on 15th, you will be greatly missed, and good luck at the new location.
On a side note, I'm surprised to hear that Olympia Pizza and Spaghetti House III will be expanding into the space. I know the food is great, but it never seems busy enough to justify an expansion. My advice to owner Harry Nicoloudakis: Build it out as a low-key bar/lounge. There's definitely a niche to be filled in that neighborhood, because sometimes Hopvine Pub, Liberty, and The Canterbury just don't really fit the bill, and they're always fairly busy, if not packed.
