Neptoon Records

This colourful storefront is on Main Street at East 20th Avenue. Neptoon is Vancouver's oldest independent record store and has been around since 1981. The teal colour of the building has been around long before Neptoon moved in though. When I first arrived in Vancouver in the late 80's I remember this as the location of Exotic World which was a personal museum for Harold and Barbara Morgan. Somehow I never visited the place but saw it later on when the contents were taken over by Alexander Lamb Antiques down at Main and 17th Avenue. You can read an old article about Exotic World by The Tyee here. Makes you think how much cooler Main Street would be if Exotic World was still around!
