Wunderbloc New York

Judith, the mother of twins, Fritz and Lucia, initially conceived of the second-hand aspect of the store when the time came to get rid of her two expensive, garishly colored, plastic excersaucers. She thought..."Landfill!!" and called her friend Kate, collector of children's books (now the mother of fourteen month old Harry - aka HTB). The two of them looked for a space with Mike Davis of Academy Records fame. They found a great location, divided it, and opened the Brooklyn branch of Academy and Flying Squirrel in the spring of 2004. He had his store front painted immediately. Flying Squirrel was painted in November of 2007. Many fathers shop at the record store while many mothers shop at the baby store. Judith and Kate, both avid record collectors at one time in the distant past, have bought fewer than 20 records between them in four years of business and generally enter Academy only to discuss important matters that involve lunch. And snacks.
