Brighton Park Memories

I was thinking about the Brighton Park location of KittyHawk Records in Frankfort back in the early 80's this morning. It had the most "Spencers" like ambience of the 3 locations i remember....Strong head shop odor and soft lighting. I seem to remember the racks were floor to ceiling which was different than most shops. I was smack dab in the middle of the mall. I can't remember what other shops they had there.

I remember my older brother buying JP some cassettes for his 14th birthday there. Prince "Dirty Mind" and The Stones "Tattoo You". "Dirty Mind" changed his life and appropriately differentiated between generations in our musical household. 

Their last stop as a shop was Franklin Square. I bought "Tin Machine" and The Ramones "Brain Drain" on CD as the 80's switched to the 90's.
