AUTUMN STONE (1971 - January 1980)

CO-OWNER: Andy Mellen
CO-OWNER's and FOUNDERS: James Speiss, Eric Green, Bill Kelly
ADDRESS: 304 Kennedy Street

Record Store that sold comics.  Collectors used to hang out here in the late 60's and early 70's.

"Initially opened on Graham Avenue in 1971, partners James Speiss, Eric Green and Bill Kelly modelled the shop on Minneapolis's hip Electric Fetus. By the time it moved to Kennedy Street the following year Winnipeg Free Press music columnist Andy Mellen had come onboard. For most regulars, Andy would become the face of Autumn Stone."
