So I set out on another 20 miler to hit some old and new spots on a Tuesday afternoon. I took link 50 all the way into the city down I-4 with my bike in tow so I could cruse around. I had hopes to top things off with a nice lunch near the station […]

Goodwill [Orlando FL]
I’ve only been in one other Goodwill store like this but apparently some stores sell literally by the pound. Everything is stuffed into huge tubs and its 90% clothes. While last time around I hit it big, I found about 5 records this time and it was all junk. Worse yet I went far out […]

R’ n ‘R Records [Orlando FL]
A year ago, I conquered a trio of O-Town record stores all within a triangle near the Lynx Central Station. Frustrated with the lack of thrift stores, I searched Google again, much as someone looks into their empty fridge, hoping some scrap of food might miraculously appear. Well one did for me, but it was […]

Run Through MN
Started off at the Goodwill in Eagan MN. I got into town a few hours before my colleague so I grabbed the rental car we were sharing and headed over. I instantly hit it big with some polka platters and even some barbershop! As I have done more than once, when I start seeing a […]

Albany NY Circuit
If my time in Atlanta was limited, Albany even more so. Most would have said ‘forget it’ and given up on digging for records at all. I didn’t even have a car! I was stuck at my hotel but guess what: Goodwill was only about 1.5 miles away! So I headed out. As I walked […]

Winfield Antique Mall
I feel like at this rate the Sunday morning desperation will only lead to a trip 100s of miles away as we continue to dominate a larger and larger radius of record stashes across Chicagoland. This one only took us to Winfield which was closer than it sounded and it was a worthwhile trip at […]

Funk Trunk, Rogers Park
I booked out of AA (no not the meeting) to make it to Funk Trunk before they closed at 7. A light rain had been falling for hours but I stayed dry and warm enough to feel pleasant. As I approached I couldn’t figure out where the store would be as it was nothing but […]

Audio Archeology, Rogers Park
If anyone read this blog, maybe they would meet me face to face and discuss it with me. And they would probably criticize me for running a blog with ‘chicagovinyl’ as the subdomain when half of the posts are in other cities or even states. And I’d tell them to get lost. But luckily I […]
