Goodwill, Skokie

Not sure how I never hit this place even once before over the years.  Granted I don’t get out there that often but it isn’t very far from my standard stomping grounds. Just a singular, clean bin with a handful of interesting finds as displayed here.  The Paul Young album is one shy of his […]

D’yer Maker

My history with the Dyer Goodwill runs deep.  Back before it was even fully constructed and I invited myself inside through the many polka records I have pulled out of here, and even some weird rarities I just went ahead and sold for profit.  Haven’t been through since early spring so I enjoyed my trip […]

Goodwill [Orlando FL]

I previously hit a Goodwill in O-Town back in 2015 but I’m 99% sure this is NOT the same one.  Should have had better record keeping to confirm/deny that but it is all I can come up with so you’ll have to roll the dice if you are trying to use this blog as a […]

Goodwill [Livonia MI]

Maybe I was due for some good fortune.  I wasn’t off to a good start when I saw all the vinyl stacked bookshelf style but I craned my neck and checked them out as best as I could.  But in the final grouping I spied with my little eye a CTI classic (as my eye was, […]

Goodwill [Woodhaven MI]

Got to make a trip up to Detroit, an area I have almost never traveled to in my decade plus of jetsetting around the midwest and beyond.  We were working out in the middle of nowhere, about 30 min south of Detroit and we were staying in Woodhaven.  Was able to sneak away and check […]

Goodwill [Plainfield IN]

I’ve had a bad habit of neglecting the Plainfield Goodwill while I have showered the Avon Goodwill with attention during my numerous visits over the past couple years.  It wasn’t intentional – the Avon store is right next to my hotel and I honestly forgot there was another one just a couple miles away.  I’d […]

Goodwill [Lexington KY]

I’ve been through Kentucky a number of times over the years.  I have been in and around Louisville a few times, though at least one of those instances was long, long ago, before this blog existed.  I drove through Kentucky on my way back from Mobile Alabama a while ago and stopped in Louisville again […]

Goodwill [Avon IN]

I’ve spent quite a bit of time in the Avon/Plainfield area.  I worked on a job site in Avon twice about 12-18 months ago, now I have worked twice at a totally different job site which is about 1 mile away, but across the border in the adjoining town of Plainfield.  All of these times […]

Goodwill, Kewanee IL

Visited the Kewanee Goodwill a number of times with varying results.  Had an interesting visit on this late April afternoon as I dodged a tough rain storm.  There were a nice selection of legit 70s-80s rock albums, just one after the other, I was surprised to find them all together in any Goodwill and definitely […]

‘Vinyl Day’ at Goodwill Elmhurst

                  Even Goodwill celebrates their vinyl culture and wants to get in on the RSD madness and I have no problem with that.  Or maybe I only feel that way when they load their bins with rare Chicago polka vinyl prior to my visit. The Naturals album […]
