I never went inside before they closed down, but it was a place where they sold punk rock clothing.<br /><br />"p.s. I hate those platform shoes. Can a girl still get normal pumps these days?"<br /><br />HA! I know, the style today seems to be VERY high platform shoes. They kinda remind me of the style back in the 70's.<br /><br />"Countdown to meet-up! So excited to see you again!"<br /><br /><br /><br />*squealing*<br /><br /><br />OMG...me too!!!!!!!!!
