spindle spider dot comI 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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
I don’t know what people think that record collecting is all about. Or being out and about and searching for records. Probably seems very much ‘on the surface’, like just sticking my mitts in those crates is all that matters. But the real peak experiences come when you supersede that stuff and hit into something […]
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 […]
I previously hit a Goodwill in O-Town back in 2015 but I’m 99% sure this is NOT the same one. Should have had better record keeping to confirm/deny that but it is all I can come up with so you’ll have to roll the dice if you are trying to use this blog as a […]
I first visited the Gibsonton/Apollo Beach area in April of 2016. On my last day I wanted to stop here but had trouble finding it. Well I ended up going back about 1 1/2 years later to work at the same place and this time I went in on my first day when I still […]
