Gentrification
A record store caught up in the throes of the rapidly gentrifying Harlem may need to close its doors after over 60 years.
Its owner may be the first black man to own a store on the area’s major thoroughfare, 125th.
Dude opened his store "before R & B music got its name".
Sounds like the type of thing the Landmarks Preservation Commission should be paying attention to.
