(It was hangout when I was in high school - diner side, naturally) It didn't sell records but was near Fladd's. Jake’s was a diner/bar.

I forgot about Fladd's. Was that next to Jack's? Bayshore for music I only vaguely remember.

I remember an occasional purchase at Fladd's downtown, because they did carry the Top 40. I transitioned to albums faster than you did, and started building my LP collection at Alexander's at the Connecticut Post. I don't remember buying comic books (relied on Dad's purchases), so, until records moved to the top of my list, I think my purchases were baseball cards, some candy and records. Of course, you and Michael spent your money much faster than I did, but that's a blog entry for another day.
