Yes, the parent company of FYE bought up a bunch of smaller operations (Strawberries, The Wall, Coconuts among others) and either closed 'em up or changed them to FYE's. Yeah, the FYE in the last two towns I lived in were originally Camelot Music stores. | |

They closed them all around here. All but one, anyway. Last time I checked, there was one Strawberries left in Boston, a three-story shop. Wonder if it's still there? I think I went into that one when the wife and I were in Boston a year or 2 ago. I can't remember if it was a Strawberries or not, but I definately remember going into a 3-story music store. I think the used section was all the way up-stairs on the 3rd floor.
