Silver Platter "Cultural Hub of The Universe" Act 1 of 2


Bob, owner of Silver Platter sits with Doug of Pop-Pop.

Tonight marked the beginning of the end for the last independently owned record store in Fort Myers.

The closing of this space is very important for several reasons. As a record store The Silver Platter has existed in several different locations along U.S.-41 for the past ten years.

Bob, the owner of Silver Platter has been an incredible boon to the local scene helping many a band along the way. To celebrate the closing of The Platter, two shows were put on featuring bands both local and touring.

Below are pictures from the first night:
