Had to take a brutal 8 hour drive to the Kansas City area. I already have Kansas and Missouri checked off the list but determined (even though it may have been slightly longer) I could take I-80 straight west to Des Moines, where it becomes I-35 and took me right to my destination. So I […]
Well – and I guess I can say this about many places I’ve been – I never thought I’d find myself in Maryland. And not only did I go, but the whole thing came together with just a few days notice. Worked for maybe 4 hours. Can’t beat that, right? Usually a plane ticket to […]
I checked this place out pre-construction on my last trip out to Terre Haute. After I took a leak in an outhouse outside (and wondered why there was an outhouse outside) I strolled in to be greeted by a bunch of construction workers. I vowed to return and after wrestling with myself for a few […]
Don’t know how this place slipped through the cracks – never checked it out. Made my way over on a quiet weekend and enjoyed the dig. Like every other Goodwill, apparently someone, somewhere is fabricating these record bins for them as they are in every single store across the land. However this one had seen […]
Headed back up to Cary. In previous visits I have checked out a toy store and a record store. Trip #3 I took a look around in a Goodwill and I found yet another on this jaunt. This was a pretty clean store and I quickly discovered their stash on an end cap near the […]
I’ve run across things like this before. Found this one at Goodwill Addison. I find it so interesting not just to see the history of a piece of vinyl in my hands but the peoples name’s and addresses…thinking about them and knowing what their taste is in music and wondering what became of them. This […]
Last time I was in town, I wasted some time trying to find a Goodwill round these parts. Turns out it was just a ‘donation center’ which may be just the box. We did find it this time, and I think it may […]
Did a run through Morris on my way out west and hit up the old haunts. St. Vincent continues to get worse in the vinyl department, the one remaining crate is even more in the back of the store, over by the bathrooms now. It held nothing but junk, save for an ED&JFC album you […]
Back up in Cary, I made yet another stop to search for vinyl. Previous journeys to Cary brought me to Barrington and Crystal Lake. This time, I decided to check out a thrift store. Initially I went over to Barrington Resale, no vinyl there. I called in advance and got no answer, but when I […]
