spindle spider dot comSo I began what became a 7.5 mile bike ride at Park Ave. CDs. While Rock N’ Roll Heaven (detailed in a separate post) was just feet away from my jumping off point at Retro Cycles I decided to hit that last. Park Ave. was just a few miles away. I would pedigree this as […]
This is going to be a hell of a day via public transportation. My current plan is to take link 111 to the new SunRail southern most stop (Sand Lake Road), and take that north to the Lynx Central station. After that, it will be a walk to the first of the 3 stores and […]
On Sunday’s I generally try to do a giant bike ride. I cycle every single day year round, and I almost always add miles just for fun but Sunday is my day to pile them on. I do this because its a free day with nothing to do (usually) and also because I am usually […]

I had stopped by this store a couple weeks prior but found it to be oddly locked up and closed during their published business hours. I found myself back in town and decided to give it another try. This time when I approached, the door was propped open so I was excited to get inside. […]
Stopped in very quickly before grabbing some ‘za at Piece around the corner. Couldn’t find anything worthwhile, then found the record you see glaring at you above as the last item in the ‘new arrivals’ for jazz/blues. Q is the only artist in the CTI repertoire with a record in the 3000 series (two releases […]
Found myself visiting Bloomington for work, something I’ve done a handful of times over the years. My work did not take long and I knew I wasn’t going to get back by the normal ‘end of day’, so why not dilly dally a bit? Nothing better to do. A colleague had advised me on a […]
Records on the pricy side…didn’t buy anything but nice place.
Store was mysteriously closed, the sign(s) tell a hell of a story.
