The store owner was very helpful and kind in helping me find artists I was interested and even informed me that there was a $1 sale in the back (which I quickly made my way and wished to spend all day there). I've been listening to some of the vinyls I purchased and they're all excellent quality. I highly recommend this record store if you are in the area searching for some vinyls -- all budget friendly, along with the store owner eager to support you and pretty much a wide selection!

Amazing. So many vintage media. Vinyls, vcr, cassette tape, DVD, cd, vhs and more. There's even a discount room, that's a maze in itself, but everything else is organized alphabetically
