Who: Mayor Daniel Rickenmann, Mayor Pro Tem Will Brennan, Columbia Economic Development, Five Points Association and owner of Papa Jazz Record Shoppe, Tim Smith.
What: The City of Columbia celebrates the grand re-opening of Papa Jazz Record Shoppe that has been located in the Five Points District since 1982 under the same owner. Papa Jazz offers a wide selection of records across all music genres, providing a vibrant marketplace for buying, selling, and trading vinyl records and CDs.
Years ago, there were about seven record stores within a mile of each other, and according to Smith, he’s the only one that remains today. When the internet emerged, while many saw it as a threat, he embraced it, making the web his ally instead of his enemy.
