Four of us took off on a bright, crisp, invigorating morning to explore this relatively new shop in the mostly residential section of SE Gladstone.  And we were extremely pleased with what we found.

The cozy, whimsical shop is very welcoming with festive flags hanging over the counter and the shop’s smiling owner, an upright piano upon which is a working turntable, a stack of memory-filled records, and a comfy couch.   The shop’s only downside for hanging out may be its limited space during popular times.

Topic-wise, though we started problem-solving a plumbing issue that G was currently working on,  we were soon transfixed by how all four of us had owned and were still moved by CSN’s  album (facing us) – and other pioneering music – from 45 years ago, where each of us was, and how that time period changed our lives.  We thanked Kenilworth’s owner profusely for making her space, the CSN album, and her turntable available to us for the 75 heavenly minutes we explored our pasts.     – 3713 SE Gladstone
