Here's an archive feature about why independent record stores matter.
Many of these places are still around (but not all on Twitter), including @GrooveMerchantRec, Mod Lang Grooves, Rooky Ricardo's and @GreenAppleBooks. https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/THE-LAST-OF-THE-INDEPENDENTS-2568022.php
