Orland Park Roundabout

In my continuing effort to take down all the Chicagoland St. Vincent thrift stores, we rose (relatively, for a Sunday) early to head south (after following the opposite heading on our last jaunt) to Orland Park for yet another excursion. Records aside, this was one of the nicest record bins I’ve ever seen.  In many […]

St. Vincent, Libertyville

I’ve been to a bunch of St. Vincent thrift stores, in a bunch of different states. And it is really difficult to find a straightforward list of stores, because it seems that someone can open a thrift store as sort of a franchisee. If you check the national St. Vincent website, you will find a […]

St. Vincent’s, Addison IL

Been a while since I strolled through – they actually got a record bin a while back after originally using a crappy bookshelf.  Now, they have also added the backdrop which they can fill with records for display a la Pink Elephant. (I wouldn’t mind having that U2 vinyl). I have long held off on […]

Morris Run Through

Made a stop for lunch in Morris Illinois on my way to Kewanee another 90 minutes down the road.  After some Swedish meatballs at R’ Place, we quickly made a jaunt over to St. Vincent’s and Goodwill to hunt for some treasures. St. V’s was up first…I don’t think I’ve ever seen a collection of […]

Appleton Thrift Mania

Downtown Appleton offers a trio of record stores and I’ve already hit most of the thrift stores in the surrounding area.  Still, leaving no stone unturned and no crate un-dug, I trudged on during a more recent trip to revisit some old haunts and see what was left. BETHESDA THRIFT I called in advance to […]

Journey to the Center of the Earth

The journey down south is a long one- 8 hrs via public transportation.  But worth it.  This video chronicles my journey.  Some other artifacts are below.  Enjoy. ST. VINCENT DE PAUL, 93RD AND WESTERN Roger Miller – Golden Hits – already had the stereo version, picked up at a flea market on a hot day – now I […]

St. Vincent score – via a liaison

http://www.discogs.com/Various-Music-Box/release/709869 Had my wonderful girlfriend pick up another A&M comp to my growing collection of releases in that category.  Also includes a couple CTI selections as well.  Can’t wait to give it a listen!

Almost bought this Jimmy Webb classic but passed.  I am already aware of some gems that have been pulled out of this tiny shelf but today was nothing doing.  I shall return.
