Any one remember PEACHES Records on The BLVD
Yes I do! That store was huge! It was at Blvd and Welsh.

I also love Bowie- saw him at the Spectrum once.

Peaches was in that little shopping center where Manis Pharmacy was where the Italian Bisto is...The GCC movies is now the new Social Security Building..They blocked that breezeway there by Jiffy Lube...to get to that shopping center where Shop-N-Bag is and THE STATE STORE!

When did the GCC actually close?

Now I remember Peaches. I also remember the satellite City Hall office that was in that mall as well. Is that still there or did that close as well?
