I should not have ventured a comparison! It has been some time since I visited Academy. There is the parking problem and then they charge admission just to cross the bridge. But I am certain that NYC has its demon recyclers and reviewer-slough-offs, so Jason's information has the ring of truth. All the same, when book-and-record-hunting, I'll always prefer to go where my car is unlikely to be molested. John Wiser [log in to unmask]
