About 2 1/2 years ago I got to hit up Philly under the same circumstances (same customer in Gap PA). Once again, I made sure to budget an extra day into things to get around. I had three cheesesteaks (along with the two I had on my first trip), as well as a pork sandwich, […]
After driving from Coatesville Pennsylvania to Wilmington Delaware, I made the trip north to New Jersey. I was rolling the dice that this place would have some vinyl, I couldn’t find a phone number that anyone would answer and I was low on time to find anything further east from Pennsylvania where I needed to return […]

Goodwill [Wilmington DE]
It took me until I was all the way in Pennsylvania again to realize that Delaware and New Jersey were really close by! So I made some adjustments to my already packed itinerary to check these states off my list, as who knows when I will have the chance again! I decided on a regular […]

Goodwill, Downers Grove
I swore I had never been to this place. I was tooling around and had to make a run to Trader Joe’s. The local grocery stopped carrying the coffee that my girlfriend likes and Trader Joe’s is is other favorite. I don’t mind going as I drink the coffee as well and I also like […]

Goodwill [Greenfield IN]
Nice to get back in the swing of things after a short while of inactivity. I drove 4 1/2 hours to Cambridge City Indiana, did my work in only about 2 hours, then drove back west to spend the night in Indianapolis. This was on the way and well worth it. Roger Miller I scooped […]
I write this while I sip a cold Abita after one of the longest, hardest days of work in my life. I got into town yesterday (flew to Alexandria) and desperately wanted to check Louisiana off my list. I sped to a Goodwill and they had no vinyl! I knew that I wouldn’t have much […]

Well it sure has been a slow May. I got down to Texas but missed opportunities to check out a record store in downtown Dallas and more. I did stop into a thrift store in Plano Texas but they had no vinyl. I made it back to Buffalo NY as well as the Detroit area […]
In nearly 5 years of writing this blog I have visited many, many thrift stores and record stores looking at vinyl. Unfortunately I’ve seen many great shops close for various reasons. Time to give respect to some legends and remember their awesome tenure selling vinyl. There are many more honorable mentions but here are the […]
I generally will not go out of my way to hit an SA anymore, they are always sad barren places devoid of any good vinyl, and often it seems, don’t carry any vinyl at all. As part of an especially relaxing morning, I got my work done in Marquette Park (where coincidentally I also hit […]
