The old Savers space back behind what was once known as Jewel ‘Grand Bazaar’ finally has a new tenant. I don’t know how many (any?) vinyls I’ve pulled out of SAs in the past, but it is few, that’s for sure. So I wasn’t excited to check this out but as it is in my […]

I’ve run through the Gibsonton/Apollo Beach area twice now, most recently back in September. I had more time on this trip than the others so I tried to take advantage. I first stopped over at Almost New Thrift but they were closed and left a note on the door to that effect. A bit dejected, […]
I’ve been awfully spoiled lately with the opportunity to travel to many large metropolitan areas. Finally I was make in a small town in Indiana – now this feels natural! I swung through a Goodwill in town – plenty of vinyl to be had. It was nothing doing, but I did find a mono copy […]

Attleboro Attack!
I visited Rhode Island a while back on a personal getaway with my dad. I actually had business plans to travel to Seekonk which is just across the border from Providence. This was great because I knew I’d be able to check Massachusetts off my list. But flights to Boston were much cheaper than Providence […]

Avenues Thrift Store
I’ve driven past this place so many damn times and wanted to stop in but never did. This is largely because traffic on Touhy is a bit scary, there aren’t quite 2 lanes in each direction, but there isn’t quite a parking lane either. Traffic moves fast and even if you can park in front, […]

Goodwill, Skokie
Not sure how I never hit this place even once before over the years. Granted I don’t get out there that often but it isn’t very far from my standard stomping grounds. Just a singular, clean bin with a handful of interesting finds as displayed here. The Paul Young album is one shy of his […]
Had a hell ride down in Hazelwood just outside of STL. I was staying in St. Peter which is about 10-15 miles away if memory serves. I spent about 14.5 hours working and driving on day #2 but day #1 was just a 5 hour jaunt down to my destination. This of course left room […]

McComb Thrift Store [McComb OH]
It has been over 2 1/2 years since I first visited (what was at that time) Community Thrift in tiny downtown McComb Ohio. Looks like it has changed names but otherwise looks the same as it always has. I wonder if my old friend Terry is still stocking the shelves. Found some interesting gems which […]

D’yer Maker
My history with the Dyer Goodwill runs deep. Back before it was even fully constructed and I invited myself inside through the many polka records I have pulled out of here, and even some weird rarities I just went ahead and sold for profit. Haven’t been through since early spring so I enjoyed my trip […]
There is nothing better than being out in the middle of nowhere on vacation, with your loved ones. Better yet, stop at a quiet abondonded beach and run around in the ocean for an hour, then stop into a tiny church thrift store and look at some records! This makes (I think) the 14th year […]
