Quinn Moore, acting manager
of the West Side vinyl record store Black Dots, prepares for possible
relocation as the current home is up for sale. The basement of 223 Lafayette
Ave. has been the home to Black Dots since
2013, but ownership believes that moving could be beneficial to the store’s
growth. “We don’t know if the new owners are going to want to kick us out or
not. Either way even if they want to we are out of space here, so it wouldn’t
be the worst thing,” Moore said. If the store does have to move, Moore said
that the ideal location for the new home would be on Grant Street. Moore calls
the area “up and coming” and would be better for Black Dots compared to moving
to another location such as Elmwood Avenue. By
