I got into this conversation on another board a while back...I was getting nostalgic for a comic book store in Rosemead that I used to go to back in the day. Just last year it closed down and the building was sold to another company...they are now selling air conditioners there!
But years ago they had a musty, sticky, well developed comic book and magazine store there. The damn place was full of mostly old stuff. Just walking in one was hit by the atmosphere. There is something about old books...especially geeky old books. They had a used paperback shelf, they sold old Super-8 films in a glass case...this was like a dream. All the geeky comic books and monster magazines you could want. There was a grayish dust over everything. It probably sounds disgusting in some ways but...it's hard to describe...there was this unusual FEELING to the place, a fascinating vibration that drew me in there and made me want to stay, poring over all the weird treasures. Every time I went in I would find all kinds of things. It was the pull of History!
