Everett Thrifting

What better to do on a Sunday afternoon than look at some grimy old records? I kicked things off at the Goodwill on Everett Mall Way. Two large bins of platters were revealed. A flip through the inventory showed both the mono and stereo version of a Frank Chacksfield album. I actually do own a […]

Sioux Falls Vinyl Thrifting

South Dakota was a state I thought I might never get the opportunity to visit. Be careful what you wish for, it might just come true! So I embarked on a month long visit to Sioux City. A very short flight got me here with time to kill before I could check in, so I […]

Idle in Iowa

This is my 4th trip through Iowa in the past 6 months or so, and my second time in Des Moines.  This time I was here for 3 nights and had some downtime.  I checked and while I had perused vinyl in Iowa before, it was a long time ago and not very thorough.  So […]

Idaho Idocy!

A couple years ago I was fortunate enough to head over to Seattle.  I had a great time, and checked out some vinyl, and thus ticked Washington off my list.  On this trip, I had some work in Spokane and plenty of downtime.  I wasn’t about to waste time running ragged in Washington – been […]

St. Vincent [Billings MT]

As already described, I stepped out of a Billings breakfast and stumbled into a record store.  Just before that, I came across a St. Vincent.  Alas, it was permanently closed but they left a forwarding address.  So I started to walking across Billings to my destination. It was a 1/2 mile or so I think […]

St. Peter’s Gate (and four year anniversary!)

Had a hell ride down in Hazelwood just outside of STL.  I was staying in St. Peter which is about 10-15 miles away if memory serves.  I spent about 14.5 hours working and driving on day #2 but day #1 was just a 5 hour jaunt down to my destination.  This of course left room […]

St. Vincent [Ruskin FL]

I first visited the Gibsonton/Apollo Beach area in April of 2016.  On my last day I wanted to stop here but had trouble finding it.  Well I ended up going back about 1 1/2 years later to work at the same place and this time I went in on my first day when I still […]

St. Vincent [Livonia MI]

Ah yes, your typical bombed out St. V’s, a spot I checked out during my brief stay in lovely Livonia.  This is the 25th post tagged for St. Vincent so I guess I’ve been to damn near that many.  But yet after all these years, not much has changed.  And that is fine with me. […]

St. Vincent [Mississauga Ontario]

I’ve already outlined how exhausting my day was going to Ric’s (albeit very rewarding).  But before I decided to pull the trigger on going way out to Port Credit, as I weighed the pros and cons in that shopping mall, knowing that there was a St. Vincent just down the street definitely helped to influence […]

St. Vincent [Grand Rapids MI]

Headed up to Grand Rapids yet again late in 2016 and was able to pull off one more (successful!) dig before the clock strikes midnight.  I have thoroughly hunted the entire city and documented it well…so much so, that I haven’t bothered to look at much of anything for a while.  This time I decided […]
