I can't tell you how it saddens me to hear that you are closing. I have always loved coming by your store when I'm home. Even when you aren't at the store front, even when I know you're busy, I take pleasure in coming there. Vortex is an Iowa City place that I have loved. It's part of my home in the same way that Things and Things and Buc Leather was. Blessings, - Yvonne K

I saw the sign in the web photo, going out of business!?!? I buy a CD or so every month, it's hard to find the same selection at the big stores. Please tell me it's not so, you're still going to be around? - Charles
