Slam City Skates July 30, 2007
I met with Gareth today at Slam City Skates in Covent Garden, and saw the new developments and work on the store. Visitors to the shop will remember that Rough Trade used to be in the basement, but now under new ownership, the skate shop will be expanded to two floors. When I needed to go by the store in recent years, Gareth was often in the shop, so its nice that he and others are now involved in a different way. Slam City Skates is a kind of London institution, so we talked a little about how important it is to put care into these things.
Many bands played in-store at Rough Trade in the past, leaving their mark on the ceiling.
The renewal should be finished towards the end of August. Good luck to all the team involved! |
