Beloved Missouri Record Store Closing Forever After 50 Years
There are few record stores in Missouri that are better known than this one and truth be told, it has been much more than a place to find your favorite vinyl. Sadly, it will now be closing its doors forever in November.
I saw the Kansas City Star report this week that 7th Heaven which has been a part of the lifestyle of that area for five decades.
7th Heaven has always been a combination of many things - music, smoke shop and really a community that embraced it and made it the special place that it is for many.
KSHB in Kansas City spoke with owner Jan Fichman about the decision to close and he seemed to infer that the passing years and friends who have had medical problems and even passed on played a role in his decision to close the doors.
Both stories say that 7th Heaven plans to close sometime in November, but no exact date has been decided upon just yet. A lot will depend on how quickly their current inventory can be sold and there is even talk of a big party to celebrate its last day.
This is another one of those announcements that reminds you how fast time passes and sometimes something you love goes away never to return. Sadly, that'll be true of this iconic Kansas City place.
