Kansas City Closing Time Tribute To Beloved 7th Heaven Cont'd

For constant local readers we share the ongoing outpouring of sympathy for this local institution and it's upcoming end game.

Located at 7621 Troost Ave, 7th Heaven is best known today as a counterculture shop. From the Vinyl Underground to the Smoke Shop and Love Shop, there is a wide selection of vinyl records, CDs, cassette tapes, grinders, pipes, bongs, sex toys, and more.
