Mariah Horner - Thought #3 - Brian's Record Option

Hello this is Mariah and this is thought number three and this morning I'm thinking about Brian's Record Option.  If you're from Kingston, you definitely know that this happened and if you're not I'm here to tell you about Brian's Record Option. It's the coolest place in Kingston. It's a record store that has 80,000 records and 20,000 cassettes and even more CDs and books and posters and the coolest fucking dude in town and last week he had a flood and water rose up from his basement and up waste deep and books and records and posters came pouring out of his store onto Princess street and this morning I'm thinking about how you can possibly replace something that's irreplaceable and what happens when you're angry and mournful for the loss of something that was no one's fault but it was just an accident but it's such a huge hole in the heart of the city and I am heartbroken and I am optimistic about my community's ability to rebuild things that are precious.
