I typically like to think of myself as someone that is pretty tolerant of cold weather, I deal with it on a regular basis and I think my threshold is higher than most. It’s been a really bad […]

Sunday record store assualt
Going to take the Milwaukee west Metra line to Western Ave, then walk to California/Lake and jump on the Green Line. Two stores in Oak Park and a third in Forest Park, at which point I can jump on the # Harlem bus, head back up to Grand and either hoof it back west home, […]

Kstarke Records, Ukranian Village
Kstarke has intrigued me for a while and I have no excuse for not having investigated sooner. It is about one mile maximum on both sides of a $1 train ride (incremental fare with my Metra monthly pass). However I always kind of worried/wondered that it seemed like everything I read emphasized their large inventory […]

Return to Logan Hardware…
Sort of spur of the moment and towards the end of a respectable snow storm I grabbed Pace 331 up to the Cumblerland blue line at about 5pm on a Saturday after a long nap. I rode to the California stop and then walked east on Fullerton before I stopped at Papa Ray’s for a […]

Dave’s Records, Lakeview
Just up the street at Reckless, I realized I was near Dave’s and wandered the .6 miles over. My kind of store! Picked up another Engelbert album – afternoon well spent!

Reckless Records, Lakeview
I received a $30 gift certificate (shown in previous post) for Christmas from my brother’s girlfriend who knew I was a vinyl addict. I took a Saturday afternoon jaunt up to Lakeview to spend it at the final of three Reckless locations. This location is on par with the Wicker Park location or slightly bigger. […]
