Test Your Memory

With the contest standing at only two Solves to six Stumps, let’s try to make a difference here folks. It can’t be made
too easy, but we have obviously been too hard on you. Here’s a throwback to older times. A little way back for younger
people (Ok, well a lot), but for many folks in town who are musical, a nostalgic memory of this shop, and while
saddened with its demise, probably are appreciative of the business that took its place (This is a hint)!
Here are the questions:

1. What was the name of this music establishment?
2. Where was it located?
3. What current business is located where this business was?

Ok I admit, what we (I) think is easy is not always easy, but then I always have the answers as I make up the “Tests.” For
those of you that were born after 1987, you probably won’t get this as it was gone after that date. Folks that lived here
prior to that date, and especially those that were into getting their musical instruments for band, should know this
business.
But just in case that this is hard for folks, a correct answer to anyone of the questions will be considered a “solve”. Put
your Sherlock Holmes hat on and sleuth this one out.
