We’ve had the displeasure to write about the demise of area records stores recently, with Revolution and Tower joining DCCD in the big bargain bin in the sky. However, the D.C. area is still home to some good music stores, and thanks to blogger Ben Welsh and Google Maps, we have a quick way of finding them.
Welsh put together a map showing local record shops, making it easy to find where to get Pitchfork’s top 50 albums of the year, or perhaps something less controversial, like the new Norfolk & Western.
It’s a pretty neat little app, and Welsh practically read our mind, since DCist really likes Google maps. He also has his own happy hour map, which is also a topic we wrote about.
