I generally will not go out of my way to hit an SA anymore, they are always sad barren places devoid of any good vinyl, and often it seems, don’t carry any vinyl at all. As part of an especially relaxing morning, I got my work done in Marquette Park (where coincidentally I also hit […]

The old Savers space back behind what was once known as Jewel ‘Grand Bazaar’ finally has a new tenant. I don’t know how many (any?) vinyls I’ve pulled out of SAs in the past, but it is few, that’s for sure. So I wasn’t excited to check this out but as it is in my […]
I ended up being ‘lucky’ enough to go back to Belvidere four times in just a few weeks and I wouldn’t be surprised if I get another call soon. On one trip I brought my bike as I had so few tools to bring there was plenty of room in the truck. I hadn’t planned […]
I’ve been up to Minnesota a few times, but this trip was unique. I flew in but did not have a rental car so I was reliant on my local colleagues to cart me around. When that ended, I was on my own – which is fine with me. This time I was in the […]

I’ve torn up Grand Rapids a number of times as I’ve made many trips there over the years. I was headed up yet again and had some serious problems finding a hotel (I must admit, I am particular with where I will stay) so I booked in Kalamazoo instead. I was due to complete my […]
Made a run up to Waukegan and found time to snoop around. Last time I was in the vicinity, I headed towards the north shore and came away with a quite a haul. This time I headed over to Gurnee and Community Thrift Store. The place was huge and it was packed with people, even […]
A route I have covered before, once on a holiday – it was time again with a day off and nothing to do. I reviewed my own blog and also the always handy Google Maps to create a list of places to go and root around in. First up was the Shelter – I have […]
I was last out in NW Indiana back in January – I had a blast and came home with a load of records. This time around, I tried to see what I could hit on my way back. Initially I went for a Savers in Dolton but when I arrived there was only a Food […]
