Of course, all photos were taken by Chip Py, who saved me from having to write a more substantial post today. Better mark your calendars for February 1.

(Unless there's something I don't know about.) And that's why I'm even more excited to have Joe's Record Paradise in Downtown Silver Spring.

It's not often that this blog gets to mention something that is generally a good thing, free of controversy or tension. ( Before the Fillmore comes, of course.) Hopefully, it'll draw more foot traffic along Georgia Avenue, bringing customers to neighboring businesses as well. It's a store that will hopefully nurture Silver Spring's arts and entertainment community not just as a place to buy music but a place to see it as well. Not only is Joe's not a big impersonal chain, but his family - the Lees, the very same whose name graces the building at Georgia and Colesville - has of course been here for centuries. (Even the famous Amoeba Music in Hollywood, which I visited three weeks ago? No, not really.) Given, most local record stores (used, new or whatever) have closed in recent years, but Joe's outdoes the ones I've seen. Having worked in Rockville for most of the past three years, I've occasionally stopped by Joe's Record Paradise and have been simultaneously stunned and intimidated by the enormous selection of music. Playing at the grand opening will be Chick Hall Jr., best known as the son of Chick Hall Sr., a " country-jazz guitar virtuoso" whose Surf Club, a roadhouse in Edmonston (in case you don't know, that's in Prince George's County near Hyattsville) hosted many of the past century's country greats. The new store - this is the sixth time Joe's has moved since first opening in 1974 - will have a stage where Lee intends to book live entertainment. That's what friend of JUTP Chip Py heard yesterday when he stopped by to take a few photos and and chat up Joe Lee, proprietor and occasional smoker. Joe's Record Paradise, the legendary record store currently located on Gude Drive in Rockville, will move to 8216 Georgia Avenue ( at Ripley Street) in Downtown Silver Spring on Monday, February 1. For a list of criteria for selecting the ideal Peruvian chicken restaurant, check out Wednesday's post. Come by at 11:00 for the long-awaited Great Peruvian Taste Test poll, featuring fifteen pollo a la brasa eateries in and around East County suggested by your fellow readers. If for some reason you've never been to the library before, it's at 8901 Colesville Road near Cedar Street. He'll be headlining the kickoff of Library Lovers Month, which runs through February, and performing songs from throughout his thirty-year career. I meant to get this out a while ago, but it was on my currently inaccessible external hard drive: Burtonsville-based Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Barry Louis Polisar is coming home for a special show at the Silver Spring Library this Saturday at 11:00am. Supporters of ending Takoma Park's pseudo-Prohibition say it'll bring more businesses to Old Town, while opponents say it'll ruin the city's "quality of life." What happens if your quality of life is directly connected to your ability to have a glass of wine after work? Takoma Park's thinking about allowing beer and wine shops in the city, which has been dry since its founding by Seventh-Day Adventists in 1883. He's been charged with two counts of rape and one count of assault, but a hearing has been delayed for a week while he undergoes psychological evaluation. A 34-year-old man was arrested after raping a 19-year-old girl in a Montgomery College bathroom, Wednesday an incident which put the Takoma Park campus on lockdown for 90 minutes. The store has a stage and owner Joe Lee plans to have live entertainment, including a performance by local country legend Chick Hall, Jr. As noted yesterday, Joe's Record Paradise plans to open their new store in Silver Spring on Monday, February 1.
