Just as the glow of Record Store Day is wearing off comes sad news (via EV Grieve) from EV mainstay Kim’s Video & Music:

As great as #RSD2014 was (thank you all!), sadly we will be closing our store on 1st Ave. No closing date yet but 30% off ALL VIDEO and MUSIC. (all formats and NRs as well). – [Facebook]

The 1st Ave store was the last of a once healthy NYC empire. It was also one of the last (maybe THE last?) places to find cult/foreign/import DVDs and Blu-Rays. Mondo Kim’s on St. Mark’s Place closed in 2009.
