Category: church thrift stores
Last March I was visiting my folks and hit up a bunch of local thrift stores with my mom scavenging for vinyl. Woke up Black Friday and shook off my hangover then got a recommendation (from my mom of all people) to check out a new resale shop called Wings in the area. Well Salvation […]
Grand Rapids appears to be the thrift store capitol of the world. After a tiny selection at the local Goodwill, the SA had a bulk of records available. I came away with a Ray Price record (they had another but it was pretty beat, so I passed). I found a double of the one I […]
