Summary
After 11 years, Bucket O’ Blood Books and Records is closing its Avondale storefront—but don’t pack up your vinyl or books just yet. Owners Grant and Jennifer McKee are shutting down due to relentless building woes: leaks, mold, and water damage from upstairs apartments that even soaked a touring author. They’ve resorted to tarping merchandise nightly to avoid disaster. But they’re not quitting—they’re hunting for their own space, aiming to stay close to loyal customers and avoid landlord headaches. For now, the shop’s still buzzing with events, new arrivals, and community love. Come support them before they vanish from this spot forever.
