spindle spider dot comI last visited T&T last summer. I’ve learned to be patient with my favorite thrift stores, you have to allow for the goods to rotate and be purchased, and new stuff to get in. Otherwise you just beat the hell out of the place and yourself constantly digging and digging when there is nothing there […]
Did some work in Avon Indiana and had a chance to hit two Goodwills in quick succession to great results. GOODWILL AVON Did not find the familiar white bin I see at Goodwills across the Midwest. The stash was stored vertically in a long – probably five feet – row. Things started quite tame but […]
Perhaps I took things a bit far to try and get records in three states in two days. Perhaps I am a glutton for punishment…sometimes, I just don’t know. Approaching Louisville from the south, I thought I’d stop in Elizabethtown first. My long commute from the Gulf of Mexico plus the time zone change was […]
Got into Alabama late so I focused on two stores in close proximity I knew I’d have time to get in and out of before they closed. GOODWILL Second Goodwill in a day that his their vinyl deep in a corner. I became frantic, searching before my anxiety was allayed. A number of the records […]
I was scheduled to lay over in Charlotte on my way to Mobile Alabama. Plans were derailed by horrid Chicago snow which delayed my departure and caused me to miss my connection. Without a moments hesitation I left the airport in search of vinyl. With over four hours to spare I knew I had time […]
Antsy and full of java on a Sunday morn, my girl and I lamented the fact that we were desperate to root around in a thrift store but we had worn out are usual haunts to epic levels. As usual, I headed to Google maps to tell the tale and point me somewhere new and […]
I unsubscribed from gsalr.com alerts last fall, and today one one of the first days of ‘spring’ (not sure if the season has officially changed or not) that I was able to get a good bike ride in. I went to work for a couple hours then had breakfast with a co-workers. I brought my […]
Originally I had planned to stop in Columbia Missouri on my way back from Kansas but I got there by early afternoon and decided to log some more miles. After taking a look at the map and making some new hotel arrangments, I drove to Quincy. I called every thrift store in town during the […]
Got a rare chance to travel a bit outside of my normal territory for work. Made a drive to Kansas and stopped in Quincy Illinois on the way back. Did about 1200 miles in 3 days and dug through seemingly as many vinyls. First stop was Goodwill in Topeka. I knew things were going to […]
As part of my annually continuing birthday celebration, I headed down to the loop for some tomfoolery, gluttony and of course vinyl digging. I hit up three stores I had not checked out in a long time, some in over a year. Came up with some finds during the well entertaining hunt. I jumped on […]
