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 […]

Goodwill 3-Way
Antsy and full of java on a Sunday morn, my girl and I lamented the fact that we were desperate to root around in a thrift store but we had worn out are usual haunts to epic levels. As usual, I headed to Google maps to tell the tale and point me somewhere new and […]

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 […]

Birthday Run
As part of my annually continuing birthday celebration, I headed down to the loop for some tomfoolery, gluttony and of course vinyl digging. I hit up three stores I had not checked out in a long time, some in over a year. Came up with some finds during the well entertaining hunt. I jumped on […]

Savers FP (again)
Without question the closest source for used records to my home, I have visited this shop a couple times and outlined my trips accordingly for those visits. For this fourth visit (and 9th Savers visit overall, including other locations) I really came up big. It had been since last fall when I previously dug the […]
21 bins of vinyl…easily the largest collection I’ve seen in a store of this ilk. And nothing but junk – war torn records, perhaps 1/3rd were empty jackets. I did find a CTI classic (jacket only) and the mandatory Engelbert but nothing else of interest except for a Verve gem which was complete but pretty […]
