True music fans in Philadelphia talk lovingly about this store even though
it has been closed for more than 7 years. Everything that can be said about
the downstairs room has already been said and I visited it as often as I
could (or could afford). Old City Coffee is still on Church Street and was
just a half a block away from Third Street jazz. Their hyper-caffeinated
coffee....I used to refer to it as Rocket Fuel.. .provided the perfect
energy boost for perusing the racks at Third Street.
What's also sad is that the store where Third Street Jazz was located
continues to remain empty. It's a continual reminder of the loss.
