Closed: Noe Valley Music

Noe Valley Music, the local neighborhood music store at 3914 24th Street run by Doug Roomian since 1986, has quietly closed up shop and vanished. The sign over the door is gone, the door is padlocked, and there’s nothing left inside except bare walls.

When we checked in with neighboring shops to find out where it might have moved or what happened, none of the other merchants even noticed NVM was gone – and there’s no note in the window. Clerks at two neighboring stores didn't even know what music store we were talking about (we're looking at you See Jane Run and Good news). Sad.

Noe Valley Music was definitely a music shop from a different era. As one reviewer on Yelp put it: "Cute little neighborhood shop where you can grab a set of strings, a slide, or some random part if you happen to build instruments."

Anyone who took lessons or bought strings there have any details?

Tuggey's Is Struggling

Five minutes of despair on Twitter from Tuggey's Hardware:

Yah. Rumors are true tuggeys hardware is struggling.Seems like #noevalley has forgotten about the oldest store on 24th st. #fact
— Tuggeys hardware (@Tuggeyshardware) March 2, 2012

Hope #noevalley enjoys shopping at lowes or home depot next year!!! #sad
— Tuggeys hardware (@Tuggeyshardware) March 2, 2012

@NoeValleySF sad to see how much my neighborhood has changed the past 10 years.Yuppies have forced the working class out of #noevalley
— Tuggeys hardware (@Tuggeyshardware) March 2, 2012

@NoeValleySF hope all the homeowners who moved to #noe for a "shopping district" enjoy coffee shops, nails salons, realtor offices and banks
— Tuggeys hardware (@Tuggeyshardware) March 2, 2012

How about it Noe Valley? Is it that the neighborhood has changed? Or is it that Tuggey's hasn't kept up with the neighborhood. What is your experience shopping there, and what could Tuggey's do to get your business?

Update (3/3/12): The Tuggey's Twitter account has been suspended.
