Seconded! While I lament the number of bookstores and music shops that have gone away, and that boom times are unlikely to come again (and birth wide variety) … what remains are generally purposeful, well-cared-for, well-appreciated places. It's not what I'd wish, but it's where I hope things go for the theatrical experience as well.
