Music enthusiasts take note: if you continue reading this column, be prepared to spend freely and uncontrollably for hours on end at what is arguably the best independent record store in the region and among the best in the country.With that said, you might already be familiar with the drawing power of the Princeton Record Exchange and what it offers at 20 S. Tulane Street in downtown Princeton. Celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, the Record Exchange, or P-Rex as some fondly dub it, has caused music lovers of all kinds to willingly (and quite happily) unleash their wallets on intended purchases, and, in the best cases, on the stumbled-upon, unintended purchases found while browsing through upwards of 160,000 new and used CDs, LPs, DVDs, and videos.
After its December 8 hearing, the Regional Planning Board of Princeton was supposed to have arrived at a consensus on changing the community Master Plan as a lead in to eventually rezoning the University Medical Center at Princeton site, making way for future development.
