The Cactus Sign

A Houston institution for 30 years, independant music retailer Cactus, has closed its doors forever citing big box retailers and downloading as their downfall! I think it was their crappy customer service that led to their demise. So long and thanks for all the music (and videos)!

The sign MIGHT be relocated. I heard a rumour that Cactus was relocating here in town! So this sign MAY have some life left in it yet!
