Who could resist?
This was the most interesting store with lots of imports, called the Basement Discs.
They had a bar where drinks cost a donation to a charity.
A beautiful old indoor shopping area.
The mosaic floor.

Saturday
and Sunday, April 16-17th.
My
car was still huffing and puffing today from all the driving over the
holidays, so I decided to stay in town this weekend. A teacher at
school told me it was Record Store Day, and I can't resist an event
like that. So I took my bike on the train and went into Melbourne. I
cycled around the downtown area and to the area called Fitzroy. There
I found several small independent record stores. A couple of them had
live music and beer or wine and nibbles for the customers. Very
interesting idea and well received. The only problem of course is
that the stores were pretty full of people standing around and it
made it hard to wander around a check out the music. Maybe I'll go
back another time. I stayed in the city until about dinner time and
then took the train back to Chelsea.
On
Sunday, I stayed put. I did my laundry, tidied the house up, did
groceries, chopped up the weekly salad and later went for a walk on
the beach. I spent some time sorting pictures, organizing the blog
and reading too. So, the first stay near home and relax type weekend
of the year. Next weekend is a long weekend and I will travel again
then.
