Missing Link closed?????

I have one great memory of that spot... I took 15 there the day after the Roots played The Vogue in '01. Called Dilla from the store saying how much he needed to come down and check it out. The basement hadn't opened up yet, but he snuck down there and looked around for like 5 minutes.

Ended up buying 5 or 6 boxes of records.

Fast forward 8 months later, i get a voicemail from 15...

"Hahahaha... I just gave Missing Link a colonic. I CLEANED THE SHIT OUT OF THAT STORE!!!!"

again fast forward a few months later, i get an email from Ben Kenney (who had just joined Incubus at that point) asking me for the address for the store.

later on ?uesto tells me that store was responsible for some of the crazier moments on "Electric Circus."
