From one story... - michael

Rhino founder Richard Foos, speaking in dejected tones, said Thursday
that it "had become very apparent that it was too difficult to go on."
The store's lease expired and Foos opted to lock the doors. The store
plans a Jan. 21 parking-lot sale that will be part wake, part fire
sale.
"But we are hoping now for a white knight to show up and buy the
inventory and the name and hopefully carry on the tradition," he said.
"It was a very emotional decision but this is where it's at. Now in
Westwood you have no free-standing record stores. You have one of the
largest colleges in the country and no independent record store. That
says a lot."
