Rooky Ricardo's, a well-known vinyl record shop in San Francisco's Lower Haight, has operated for 38 years under Dick Vivian. The shop features a vast collection of oldies, soul, and R&B vinyl records. Recently, Vivian was diagnosed with Stage 3 pancreatic cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy. As a result, Rooky Ricardo's will only be open on weekends for an indefinite period. The community is encouraged to support Vivian through a GoFundMe campaign to help with his medical expenses.
Rooky Ricardo's has managed to survive for 38 years under Dick Vivian's ownership, known for its vintage collections of albums and unique atmosphere filled with toys and posters.
Vivian, who recently celebrated his 78th birthday, faces health challenges as he battles Stage 3 pancreatic cancer while continuing to operate the shop on a limited schedule.
