Arboria, then on Allen St, became my destination for records and books. It wasn’t quite the same after it moved, and City Lights took over being the best place to find new music.

I have mixed feelings towards the digital revolution. And it’s obviously here to stay. But there will always be a soft spot in my heart for those stores that influenced my listening habits.

Hard to believe that a university town the size of State College can’t support a store like City Lights. Great store, greater man. City Lights will indeed be missed.
