spindle spider dot comDuring a generally hellish two day trip to Pleasant Prairie I found wonderful restaurant that I ate 3 meals at in 2 days. The first day I was searching for a place to eat. The Hillcrest Family Restaurant has plenty to offer – not excluding the Goodwill next door! I picked up another 60s record […]
After an action packed spring, gsalr.com has failed me so many weekends in a row I began to lose hope. As I prepared for the weekend outlined here, I was planning to visit the Oak Park Farmers Market…a family tradition of sorts I hope to keep alive. I have not been able to make it […]
The 99 cent bin was filled with good stuff…Engelbert, lots of classic country, even some Brasil 66. Walked away with some Ray Price and Marty Robbins to fulfill my current country obsession. I had picked up the Marty Robbins album more than once recently but put it back for poor condition. This one is staggeringly […]

Almost bought this Jimmy Webb classic but passed. I am already aware of some gems that have been pulled out of this tiny shelf but today was nothing doing. I shall return.
Hadn’t been in for a while so figured I’d breeze through. Huge stash of new vinyl, I did pick up the one in the bottom pic for $1.08.
Had some downtime in the Joliet area (again) so I did a quick search on the old phone to figure out where I might be able to cop some vinyl. I checked out a couple thrift stores and this place kept coming up. Barely out of my way but I had nothing better to do. […]
