Record Dive on Broadway
photo by Phil Tadros
It's not every day you see a bunch of hipsters crawling around in a dumpster, but that was the scene this Saturday as Reckless Records threw out mountains of old records and other random detritus from years in their Broadway location. The new store is located at 3126 N. Broadway, just a bit south of the old spot at 3161.

Ha ha. The dumpster behind Reckless has always been repository like that. Radio station personnel and various folks always go there to unload heaps of promos,misc CDs & records, and unlistenable demos & such; and whatever the store doesn't take they heave in the alley dumpster after exiting. But I expect on this day it proly sported greater yields than usual.
And I dunno about "hipsters;" but once upon a time, dumpster diving used to be a routine punk-rock activity.
