I've had a lot of trouble looking for a record store with a good CD collection, but this place has an unbelievable amount if CDs! I couldn't believe my eyes lol. Would highly recommend, especially if you're looking for some good CDs. And the staff are so nice and helpful.
I got to meet Kehlani in 2022. Blue water Road released and she was signing the album. I lived in Ohio and it was worth the trip to pay $14 to get her signature and to meet her. I was very nervous and very excited. I had a panic attack standing in line so my makeup was a little messy. I wanted to tell her that my butterfly tattoo was inspired by her song “ Butterfly”, But I was very nervous And all I could get was, “I hope you have a great day”… I work in customer service and I say it so often that was all I could get out
I could easily spend an entire day in this store and I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be done with more 1/4 of looking through all their albums. I absolutely loved this place and they have a huge selection of both used and new records. I like going to the record stores and buying some music from artists I’ve never heard of, and I appreciate that some of their records had a brief description of the album’s sound. I left this place with 4 albums and I will definitely be coming back for more!
