I visited Vermont about 6 months ago and got a rare chance to go back to the same place in St. Albans (by way of Burlington). As I already had Vermont checked off the list, it wasn’t on my radar to look for more to do. I did however have a full afternoon to waste. […]

Atticus Vinyl [New Haven CT]
Back in Connecticut, got surprised by the chalkboard outside this place. I was excited for a minute, until I entered and found that their inventory consisted solely of fancy new reissues. I did take the time to go through them then I got the hell out of there.
After striking out big time at the Goodwill in town, I gave up as I have already been all over MN. But our last day in town, we were at breakfast at the ‘Minnesota Nice Cafe’ (horrible name, nice place, good food) […]
I was eating a bowl of pho across the street when my colleague noticed the sign through the window that stated “RECORDS”. I could not believe my luck. I had already checked out Charleston on my way through a few days earlier, now I knew I’d have another shot. I called the number on Google […]

Up in Appleton for work and stumbled upon this place. Ironically found a bunch of the record i just got yesterday. The jazz section was kind of phony, all sealed reissues for big money. The best jazz they had was in the ‘clearance jazz’ section and they were all releases i owned. Decent amount of […]
