Burro is moving to the old letter shop, I had not heard that Triclops was following. Interesting.

[thelakelander]

Where is that on Forsyth?

[Jason]

Did you mean Lerner Shops building?

Did you mean Lerner Shops building?

Nope, that one was demolished last year.

It is on the block across from the tax collectors office. Its a space that has been empty for years, next to the old livery building.

Thanks for the link Dan...  Great place for the lawyers to stop by for their bag and hip hop fix...

I believe Triclops and Cash from the defunct Moon Colony Razorblade will have a record shop in the building. Infinitesimal Records might being partnering as well, not sure on that though.

Yes, I can confirm it as all true. The BBB Complex on Main St. will be totally shut down on March 1st and moved to The Letter Shop on Forsyth by April. The new building will consist of Burro Bags production area, a new retail entity through Burro called Keep It Wheel, a new record shop and snack bar type lounge to be run by myself and Cash Carter formerly of Moon Colony RazerBlade, studio space for local art wiz Shaun Thurston, and a home base for local indy rock label Infinitesmal Records. Hopefully this will be a hub for alot of the independent creative talent in the area, and I think with a roster like that nothing but good stuff can happen.

On behalf of myself, Burro, Zombie Bikes, and Biggie Tea I would like to thank Mack Bissette at SRG for hosting us for the last 2 1/2 years and being a benevolent and cool landlord. With out the oppurtunity he gave us to incubate these small bussiness they may have never got past the start up. The expirment seemed to work good for both parties in bringing life to an unused and dilapitated building. Furthermore, we would like to thank Rich Trendal at Petra for reconizeing the process and giving us yet a second oppertunity of a lifetime! Say what you want about the big property management compays in the core- in my expirence as a bussiness owner with SRG and Petra they have both been nothing but helpful, willing to work with me, and open to good ideas.

So yeah, give us some time to get adjusted and set up in our new place. Look for a grand openeing of the new building in early to mid april.

[thelakelander]

Nice.  This will fit well with the amount of nightlife starting to assemble in that general area.  I wish you guys the best.
