I hope this is a typo. Wandered back home last night to see “Closing Down Sale” signs plastered all over the strangest and best movie shop in the world. This could be disastrous.

Perhaps it’s just a renovation? I’ll find out more.

That’s a shame it’s closing. Let’s hope the replacement shop is not a chain / curry house.
