Did some work in Avon Indiana and had a chance to hit two Goodwills in quick succession to great results. GOODWILL AVON Did not find the familiar white bin I see at Goodwills across the Midwest. The stash was stored vertically in a long – probably five feet – row. Things started quite tame but […]

Redemption In Louisville
Perhaps I took things a bit far to try and get records in three states in two days. Perhaps I am a glutton for punishment…sometimes, I just don’t know. Approaching Louisville from the south, I thought I’d stop in Elizabethtown first. My long commute from the Gulf of Mexico plus the time zone change was […]

Mobile Alabama Run
Got into Alabama late so I focused on two stores in close proximity I knew I’d have time to get in and out of before they closed. GOODWILL Second Goodwill in a day that his their vinyl deep in a corner. I became frantic, searching before my anxiety was allayed. A number of the records […]
I was scheduled to lay over in Charlotte on my way to Mobile Alabama. Plans were derailed by horrid Chicago snow which delayed my departure and caused me to miss my connection. Without a moments hesitation I left the airport in search of vinyl. With over four hours to spare I knew I had time […]

Topeka Run
Got a rare chance to travel a bit outside of my normal territory for work. Made a drive to Kansas and stopped in Quincy Illinois on the way back. Did about 1200 miles in 3 days and dug through seemingly as many vinyls. First stop was Goodwill in Topeka. I knew things were going to […]
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 […]

Goodwill, Hoffman Estates
Stopped in after spending a hellish week at St. Alexius Hospital down the street. Had a family member spend 4 nights in there – thankfully they are now resting at home. I had noticed the Goodwill nearly next door early in the week but was not in the mood for record shopping. Stopped in about […]

Goodwill [Michigan City IN]
Saw a copy of ‘Release Me’ and ‘We Made It Happen’ and little else. Almost bought my 427th copy of the latter before I began to see myself in a future episode of ‘Hoarders’. I left it and got the hell out of there.

Goodwill [Grand Rapids MI]
One of two Goodwills in GR (still haven’t been to the other one), I stopped in quickly to peruse their single bin of vinyl. Almost scooped a John Klemmer album then decided I don’t even like the one I already have. Instead, grabbed a Jimmy Dean record and got the hell out of there. Still […]
