Had a whirlwind early week headed out east to run through Portsmouth New Hampshire. I flew from Chicago to Philly on an early flight where I laid over on the final leg to Manchester. I could have flown direct with United (my preferred carrier) but they wanted double the price which was well outside the […]

Goodwill [Oshkosh WI]
Not much going on here….maybe 12 records stuffed next to a bunch of old video tapes. I did find a cookbook I needed but I guess that is a bit outside the realm of what we do here, at this blog. Any Debbie Gibson collectors however – now you know where to go.
Last year on my day trip to Tampa I hit a local (and excellent) record store. I was pleased to find that there was a thrift store within walking distance and when I called they confirmed the presence of vinyl. I walked north on Florida Ave. from downtown and watched things get progressively more dicey […]
So I set out on another 20 miler to hit some old and new spots on a Tuesday afternoon. I took link 50 all the way into the city down I-4 with my bike in tow so I could cruse around. I had hopes to top things off with a nice lunch near the station […]

Goodwill [Orlando FL]
I’ve only been in one other Goodwill store like this but apparently some stores sell literally by the pound. Everything is stuffed into huge tubs and its 90% clothes. While last time around I hit it big, I found about 5 records this time and it was all junk. Worse yet I went far out […]

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 […]
I come in here pretty regularly but I don’t blog about it often. Seems like I’ve had worse luck here than at other St. V’s I’ve been to only one time. I did pull a Tappan Zee LP out of here not too long ago….and today, and Eng comp – really the last one I […]

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 […]
