Albany NY Circuit

If my time in Atlanta was limited, Albany even more so.  Most would have said ‘forget it’ and given up on digging for records at all.  I didn’t even have a car! I was stuck at my hotel but guess what: Goodwill was only about 1.5 miles away! So I headed out. As I walked […]

Bad Garage Sale and Imminent Redemption

Easily one of the most awkward record transactions I have ever attempted to take part in.  Had to run to the store and scoped this spot above on gsalr.com and it was basically on the way so we swung through.  In fact, there were only two sales on the site which listed records in the […]

Goodwill [Kalamazoo MI]

On my way into town after stopping at New Life in Wyoming I just wanted to head to my hotel but I drove right by this place, so I got my swerve on and tore into the parking lot.  This was a unique Goodwill….you could almost see whatever business it used to be before they […]

Carol stream loop de loop

This was SUPPOSED to be a post about the All-Night Flea Market, and how it was my third year going, and how exciting it was and all the great stuff I picked up.  But it is not, because the flea market was a bust.  I got some intel a couple hours before we were set […]

Goodwill, Naperville

On my last trip back from Naperville I hit up a nearby antique mall.  This time things were running a bit late and I was eager to get home so I just went about a mile to the nearby Goodwill.  It was mobbed but I made my rounds, as usual. Seemed like the entire Kenny […]

Goodwill, Addison

After the disgusting filth that is Goodwill Glendale Heights, it was refreshing to see this bin, which qualifies as easily the cleanest and most well organized Goodwill bin I have ever seen (and I’ve seen a few). All junk save for the album I placed on top.  I almost bought it, only left it behind […]

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 […]

Goodwill, Lombard

I don’t know how a local Goodwill was left which I had not already visited (this makes #24!) but there it was, just around the corner.  Not much to dig but I did come out of there with a killer Jose Feliciano album in PRISTINE shape for a few cents.  My girl took my advice […]

Headed out west…

Headed out to St. Charles for a quick weekend getaway and made a couple stops.  Made the same trip about a year ago and stopped at Goodwill Glendale Heights and picked up my 300th LP.  Just under a year has passed and I’m past 500! But first up we stopped at a Goodwill in St. […]
