Don't be so quick to count out NYC for stores like this.  My postings 
last week mentioned some that are thriving in NYC.  In lower Manhattan 
is Acadamy, which has a good selection of shows, easy listening, 
nostalgia, jazz, and classical on used CD, DVD, and LP.  They are always 
crowded.  In the Village, Bleeker Street Records is another favorite of 
ours.  One of the newspaper articles I posted links to has a list of 
some other record stores in NYC.  On the other hand, last year there was 
the loss of Footlight Record's store location.  The rent rose three 
times that year and they moved onto the web exclusively.  But they had a 
great close-out sale that went on for months -- all the time I was there 
in NYC!! -- with many valuable LPs going for 50 cents.  I think Leah and 
I must have bought over 800 records there that summer in trip after trip 
after trip.
