DC store on Melrose

DC shoes just dropped a new store at 8025 Melrose. It has become a theme in action sports that if you want to make a statement open a store on Melrose. For DC to do this is huge. The only other Melrose players are Burton and Volcom, but I guess if Quik is your big brother you can pull some space on melrose.
