The exterior of Dimple looks really familar, like an updated version of what I remember of Wherehouse. It was in a little strip center down the street from the mall and it was huge, but I think one of the only places in that lot.

I loved WH as a kid, even though there were a few in town, this one was the biggest. They even had a used section, which was unusual in the early 90s. Bought several movies and albums (on tape) in those days. If it indeed became Dimple, that's cool to think it's at least still half the same as its roots.

are you talking about in the Sunrise/Birdcage area?? Dimple is now in the old Tower Records spot. I don't remember where the Wherehouse was in that area but they originally started out just selling new records. when times got tougher they started including the used stuff.

Thanks for the response, it's funny because I could've sworn Tower was right on Greenback, but I might be remembering it slightly wrong now. Yeah, I think they were both near Sunrise Mall. Most of the Wherehouses in the south bay went out of business in '02/03, so I presume it was the same up there too.

That's pretty cool in retrospect, I bet that was the very beginning of used merchandise. I think I got a copy of Ernest Goes to Jail on VHS for $10...and that was a deal back in the day.
