If you were into music and lived in the Quincy area in the 70s and 80s, the place to hangout was Bob's Be-Bop Records at 7th and Maine. If you wanted the latest album or 45 hit record, this is where you got it.
I was watching the CBS Morning Show today with interest in that they were talking about today being "Record Store Day" in America. The story talked about the old record stores that sold albums and 45's and how popular they were and that there seems to be a resurgence in their popularity.
