There are enough crackheads in Chapel Hill stealing CDs out of cars to provide a steady supply of cheap used merch? Just a guess . . .

Schoolkids employee Jon Mackey certainly thinks so:

I'm wondering if it is a coincidence that Schoolkids staff say that
foot traffic disappeared in the past 16 months, and it appears that
UNC began offering Ruckus to students 15 months ago. Were the
Schoolkids people taking a shot at Ruckus with that line, or is it the
literal truth?

I wish someone (Indy? DTH?) would look into this and maybe interview
some students to see if this might be the case.

There are other reasons that must have contributed to Schoolkids'
decline. For example, I received a $50 gift certificate to Schoolkids
for my birthday, 11 months ago. I've never used it. It makes me feel a
little sad to admit that. The reasons are ones that wouldn't surprise
anyone:

a) I get most of my new music from iTunes, Amazon, or blogs (ie I
never pay $15 an album anymore).
b) I never go to East Franklin St. anymore (yet you can find me on W.
Franklin in the CD Alley vicinity relatively frequently).
