Mother of god...
yeah, the pains of growing up in the bay area. my favourite store growing up was streetlight records in san jose, and it was just like that. . .rows of used cds, with boxes more underneath the rows. and they gave pretty good prices if you wanted to sell.
if i remember correctly, the only bay area amoeba used to be in berserkley, along with the only rasputin. it was only 5 years or so ago that amoeba moved into san francisco. . and now rasputin is a chain in the bay area too. the berserkley store is also excellent, at least it used to be, but i haven't been in several years.
