* 11:25 p.m. - Police determined people throwing food on cars at a College Street parking lot were determined to be members of a college lacrosse team goofing off. (So that's an alibi?)
* 2:23 p.m. - A West Street woman told police a man entered her home, took her phone and then replaced it with another phone. Police said there is no evidence such an incident occurred. (But is there any evidence that it didn't occur?)
* 8:56 a.m. - A North East Street resident reported an opossum got inside the chicken coop. (What are the laws on the books for this sort of thing? Should there be WANTED posters for animals?)
* 11:40 p.m. - Police kept the peace after a mother and daughter got into an argument over homework at Echo Village Apartments. (The police agreed to do the homework in exchange for coffee.)
* 1:27 a.m. - A woman seen streaking on Rolling Green Drive was not found by police. (Despite their arrival at the scene within two minutes of the call.)
* 2:48 a.m. - Two men running with ladders on North Pleasant Street near Phillips Street were gone when police got there.(An hour later two homes were robbed with the burglars inexplicably gaining access through second story windows.)
* 9:05 p.m. - Police determined that a Taylor Street woman's complaints about neighbors snowblowing snow onto her house and windows were not legitimate. Strong gusts of wind were determined to be responsible for the snow hitting her house.(Allegations that neighbors were shining bright lights into her house were determined to be caused by the sun.)

O.k.... not that I wish them ill by any means, but how the hell is a Dynamite able to afford downtown rent? Considering the downturn in the economy and the niche market they are in, I have a hard time believing this is a good move.

Long answer: by hiring high school kids who seemingly know nothing about music (but work cheap), and by jacking up prices ($18.99 for $16.99 CDs?).
Short answer: It's a bad move.
I've met the owner, and he seems like a self-absorbed jerkass who cares less about music than his own ego. The new place looks like a mall store with zero character, and seems like it's sole purpose is to impress tourists with lots of disposable income. At the same time there seems to be a drop in the kind of unique music that made the store great in the first place. Really disappointing, and a sad epitaph to a once great store. Local music junkies are advised to shop elsewhere to avoid wallet burn.
