"Nice Price Books in Carrboro to close," Indy Week, 2/12/13
"From its original location now occupied by Cat's Cradle to the free-standing Boyd Street building it's resided in since 1992, Carrboro's Nice Price Books has been open longer than many UNC-Chapel Hill students have been alive. The venerable store boasts of the likes of Billy Bragg, Nick Lowe and Thurston Moore stopping by while in town. But a changing marketplace for used books, combined with the changing face of Carrboro, means the original shop that spawned additional storefronts in Durham and Raleigh will soon close its doors for good..."
Nice Price had been a fertile hunting ground for gently used books, vinyl and videos since it opened in this location back in '92, although the first time I shopped there was actually during their previous closing sale. That took place at their original spot on Main Street, right before it was remodeled to make way for the Cradle's Carrboro incarnation.
But the little house on Boyd Street was much cooler. And with their own community bulletin board out in front of the store, it was also a great place to put up posters.
Thanks for everything, folks.
