i stopped by criminal records' new little five points location on euclid ave (right next to new gasto-pub, the porter) today while taking a break for the achingly slow computer at work. there's still a bit of work going on, like the rather large (for an indie record store) stage being constructed in the back, which will sure as hell beat trying to see bands over people's heads in the old, cramped (yet lovable) location. but all in all, criminal records is open for business!
obviously the first big difference is size. this place feels like it's four times the size of the old criminal, and with high ceilings and a skylight, there is an odd feeling of light airiness that is slightly foreign for those used to the narrow nooks and crannies of the moreland ave location. there's a maaaassive vinyl section, and the comic books are proudly on display along the right wall, instead of slightly hidden away at the back, tucked away with the fun 'n' geeky toys.
here's some pics i took; hopefully my masterful photography (or lack there of) will be able to do the lovely new space some justice.

How did I have no idea that Criminal Records was moving?!?! Good lord, I must have been living under a rock for the past few months.
I'd love to see the new space, but I'm not sure if I'm brave enough to fight the crowds in L5P this weekend.
