A record store's welcoming ambience


Spring 2010: The welcoming atmosphere of Webster Records.

Sometimes, it isn't just the music that draws you in.  I always enjoyed the inviting vibe that Webster Records gave off.  It was obvious upon a quick glance around the store that the staff of Webster Records put thought not only into the music it sold but to the decorations on its walls and bins.  The store's bright lighting illuminated the posters, plates, and other musical mementos, providing a welcoming atmosphere in which to shop.

Webster Records closed at the end of January 2012, and I still miss it--not only for its music but its ambience.
