Wow, this is truly the end on an era. I bought my leather-bound copy of Bartok’s 6 string quartets @ Patelson’s during the Spring of 1975. I remember the store well and am sorry to see it go.
Oh, no! I haven’t been there in years, but I have vivid images of the place and all the serendipitous discoveries I made thanks to their deep selection.
