Nice little article in the LA times on the guys who opened this.

I just love that Silver Lake neighborhood. If I lived in LA, I would live in Silver Lake.
Rockaway records is there. I think that is easily the most civilized record store in LA. They pay solid prices for genuinely rare items, and reject your crap, as they should. Their prices are stiff but reasonable, and they will negotiate if the record has been sitting around for a few months. The one time I thought they had graded an LP too high, I asked the owner to look again. He agreed with me and lowered the price -- on a very rare King records gospel Lp. No hassles.
However, they do not sell pork. And I loves me a Carolina-style pulled pork sandwich. (I grew up in Greenville, North Carolina, so I know a little bit about pork bbq.)
I have to go to LA tonight for work, so I'll try Territory BBQ for dinner. Thanks for the tip!
Incidentally, the Oinkster in Eagle Rock does a VERY passable eastern-north carolina style bbq sandwich. Almost all California BBQ places put a nasty red sauce on the pork. Oinkster puts on no sauce at all, just letting the wood smoked pork do its magic. The sauce they give you is also easter-north carolina style: a very light (no ketchup in it) vinegar and hot-pepper sauce. So, the flavor is nearly spot-on eastern-NC.
best to all

just ask whether real barbecue should be "pork" or "beef."I love good old southern "pork" barbecue but it is not easy to find in the beef state of Texas. Of necessity, I have learned to appreciate good "beef" barbecue as well.

Pork has infiltrated these here parts in Dallas. Old standby Sonny Bryan's does a good job on the pork. Relative-newcomer Red Hot & Blue does pork like nobody's business. Baker's Ribs is no slouch on the pork.
I get to Dallas quite often and will search out some of these places. I have heard good things about Red Hot & Blue on WBAP.

Beef? I guess I'd try it, why not.

I sent an email to myself with the link to the website to our home email and my wife saw it and said that's where she and the kids were planning to take me for Father's Day! Blew the surprise but we are still going!
Funny, I just sent an email to my wife requesting that we go there for Father's day!!!
So let me know if the BBQ is any good, because I'm still searching for that here in SoCal, for many many years. Seems the worst place in Kansas city, Georgia, or Texas is better than the best here.
I'll let you know, but this is my favorite (alas, no vinyl!) Not very glamorous but the brisket is the best I've had in LA.

1.) Dr. Hogly Wogly's Tyler Texaas BarBQue, Up on Van Nuys Blvd on the north side of the Valley.....GOOD
2.) Robins ..N Rosemead Blvd...Pasadena ,just north of the 210. Hastings Ranch. As Good As Hoglys but Different in its own way ...Real Smoky ribs easier the to get to.

One could only hope for as much.

If it's anything like the Westside's Bookstore / Gallery / Performance Space That Sells Vinyl On The Side , called 'Equator Books & Vinyl' ....... well, at least yours has the barbecue. Perhaps you could do a double review, of the slabs of vinyl and the slabs of bbq.....
If this sounds downhearted a little, I do wonder about the shift in the evolving contemporary Vinyl marketplace-- is it now going to have to be Art-Directed and Air-Brushed, in little boutiques & surrounded with ironic kitsch to sell ? What about dusty milk-crates, cigarette smoke & mold spore in the air, like it should be ??
Our westside posterchild for the vinyl resurgence will net you stuff like jackson browne and rickie lee jones records, just as you remember them, on standard labels, for oh, ten to fifteen bucks. More elusive titles are sometimes there, but don't start till you've moved beyond the twenty-five dollar point and further. Give it a miss.
To me there is a vast difference between an ultratrendoid Vinyl Galleria, where you stop in with your spokesmodel girlfriend after tapas and wine, and--- the Workingman's Record Store, which has no pretensions beyond the basic. Like I said, even if the vinyl scene is similar (and I think that's likely, though maybe with some added Indie/Alt titles involved, silverlake and all...)--- at least you've got the barbecue.
((And what's with this Barbecue::Vinyl convergence ?
Muzikmike's idea ?))

Maybe vinyl as "retro chic" isn't so bad; it could evolve and spread like next year's flu. Think of the possibilities. Records could become as commonplace as the el cheapo eigtht-track and cassette tapes of old. Located right next to the cash register at "In and Out" quickie marts and Mallwart stupor centers, el cheapo records could transform vinyl from it's current trendy fashion statement/lifestyle accompaniment into the equivalent pork rind snack fav of Joe the Plumber.
And then there's the replacement record needle market. In fact, I think I'm gonna start investing in Pickwick Records and Pickering today. I'll be rich.
