Gossip Wolf Got the retail-therapy blues when Permanent Records closed their Ukrainian Village store this summer, but the space already has a new lease on life! Chicago record-collecting couple Jesa Espinoza and Rosemary Villaseñor will open Joyride Records in the former Permanent storefront at noon on Saturday, September 30, throwing a free party with DJs at 2 PM (including Dave McCune, Hunter Husar, and Sr. Marlowe of Sonorama), bands to be announced, and complimentary beer from Half Acre. Espinoza says Joyride will stock “hard-to-find gems, more music from South America, and lots and lots of local records.” Welcome to the neighborhood, folks!
