from the NY Times:
"Two New York City musical mainstays — Bleecker Bob’s Golden Oldies, a record store in Greenwich Village and Southpaw, a performance space in Park Slope — are calling it quits."
Bleecker Bob's to be replaced by ANOTHER FUCKING STARBUCKS!! (pardon my French, but can't someone walk 3 blocks to another Starbucks?)
And Southpaw was a very good venue- intimate

Southpaw... 
It was GREAT seeing 20/20 there for the Brooklyn Popfest.
But Bob's, honestly with all the Burberry and Dolce shops along Bleeker now, it is pretty anachronistic. Need to find some slummy street. Is there one left in NYC??

What: For The Records- The Legacy and Lessons of Bleecker Bob's:
A Film Screening & Discussion
When: Monday, February 25
6:30 - 8:00 P.M.
Where: The New School, Orozco Room, 66 West 12th Street, 7th floor
Cost: free; reservations required
RSVP: rsvp@gvshp.org or 212-475-9585 ext. 35
Co-sponsored by:
The New School for Public Engagement
When Bob Plotnik quit law to open up a record store in Greenwich Village in the '60s, the only thing he wanted was to get hold of his favorite street doo-wop records ahead of everyone else. And though "Bleecker Bob" is identified with some of the great names of rock and roll through the decades, and especially downtown movements from the Village's folk scene through punk, new wave and alternative music, now, time is finally catching up with the oldest record store in the Village. For the Records, a documentary film by Emily Judem and Hazel Sheffield, explores Bleecker Bob's impending closure and the nature of change and development in an urban setting. The film screening will be followed by a discussion with the filmmakers.
Sugoi !!!

Sad as they are one of the last of a burgeoning record trade in the Village
Not that sad as I always found them heinously overpriced and understocked on the stuff I was looking for
Some other great info on the demise of the glorious vinyl trade in GV:
