I missed the Hunky Dory discussion from before. I’m a sort-of regular there. They only recently reduced back to Fri/Sat/Sun from five-six days a week, and before that seven. They’ve had some misfortune in that location, between the construction and removal of parking and some chronic HVAC and building issues.
All that said, it’s an utterly fantastic locally-owned shop, the kind of retail DTR wants to proliferate. The owner (Bell) and staff are great. The craft beer selection is pound-for-pound one of the best curated downtown. And between the three locations, the vinyl selection is solid and fills holes in Raleigh’s record store ecosphere. I’m glad they’ve found a home that won’t take them far.
