spindle spider dot comThere are actually two Goodwills in town, luckily I was able to stop at one. I was still driving into town when I saw it, I felt like it was morally questionable to be thrifting when my customer was waiting for me but I knew it would only be five minutes. It was on the […]
Somehow this one had gotten skipped one million times during my weekend rounds. Still can’t believe it, but the truth is the truth and it is everlasting. So I investigated the records at Des Plaines Goodwill. Didn’t buy anything but saw a number of interesting items. I was never familiar with GTR but I saw […]
After the beating I took in nearby Wausau, only a real masochist would come back for more. But I had to drive to Marshfield and my awaiting hotel, and more thrift stores lurked there. How could I resist the brutality? (Answer: I couldn’t). Goodwill Marshfield had some really interesting bins, pinned to a pegboard. Never […]
Nearing total exhaustion at the end of my week spent working in the Ruskin/Gibsonton area, I tried to swing by a St. Vincent (Ruskin) and had trouble finding it, then got called back to the job site before I could investigate further. Later that afternoon, my work finally completed, I spent my last night in […]
My night in Waco was one to remember, but their vinyl selection won’t be bringing me back anytime soon. The bottom rung of a small bookcase was all they had to offer and of that, only a later album from Rog (seen below) caught my eye, and even that could not induce me to purchase […]
The first five Eddie Rabbitt albums (ironically, I own the sixth, albeit the Mexican version), a rare Tom Jones alternate cover and Anne Murray looking adorably cute – someone’s for the taking. I used restraint, it wasn’t easy!
Another weekend, another couple days spent at the ‘usual haunts’. And for once, I got lucky. With my arm bent firmly behind my back, I was convinced to go over to Goodwill Elmhurst just before close. There was a mountain of 45s in there and while ‘naked’ 45s usually are a real turnoff (how crass), […]
Still the cleanest record bin in the game – I think this is only my second time ever stopping in. Went way over here to visit a Walmart to pick up some odds and ends and strolled over. Found the red album lower left and one other one instantly in the front of the stack […]
After a wild Friday night and a rough Saturday night working, I woke up Sunday to an awesome breakfast and then a drive back east to the airport. I had some time to kill and found Thorndale on the way. Lucky for me, they had a Goodwill. Unlucky for me, they best they could muster […]
Had a grueling 3-day trip through Wisconsin and Minnesota and took advantage of whatever I could find on the way, which in this case ended up consisting of entirely Goodwill stores. Day #1 my work was in Sussex WI. I stayed the night in nearby Brookfield. This allowed me to hit Goodwill stores in Brookfield […]
