OTV: CdA’s Souvenir Records

Recognizing an opportunity to take up a new hobby and make a few bucks, rockabilly music fan Chester D. Adkins set up some recording gear in a small space in the back of his wife’s downtown Coeur d’Alene record shop. Genevieve Adkins had opened Souvenir Records at 215 Sherman Avenue a few years earlier but eventually relocated to a larger space across the street in the plaza of the Greyhound bus station, where the 3rd and Sherman entrance of the Resort Shops now sits, giving Chester some space to tinker around with his new recording toys. My mother has vivid memories of the store, recalling that she bought her first record album there as a teenager; Elvis Presley, of course/ OrangeTV , Get Out! North Idaho. More here .
