Recordsmith Closes
05.24.03: Recordsmith, one of the legendary hangouts for the boys in Central Rock Company throughout their high school days in the mid-to-late 1980's, inexplicably closed its doors at the beginning of the month, with no explanation, foreshadowing, or going-out-of-business sale. The location pictured here is of the Richmond, KY location on Leighway Drive. Both the Richmond store and the recently-opened branch office in Berea, KY have shut down.

The store has been immortalized in the film "CRC: The Movie" with a couple of scenes filmed inside, one with the stores original owner, Darrell Smith. The following images are taken from that scene, shot in the fall of 1986.
