A delightfully dank shop to rummage through if you’re a used-media goblin. I found a book I had forgotten about from childhood, and I feel like it couldn’t have been found anywhere else.

This is such an interesting piece of Congress Street. I have a bit of an interest in physical media, so I like to peruse this place every now and then. I have bought some finds before, including some Simpsons DVD sets and an obscure VHS tape for a friend. Staff is friendly and helpful, they also buy any kind of media, no matter how obsolete.

Amazing store with esoterica, rare items, and insight into the local music scene. Staff was friendly. I've been to many record stores around the world, and this is one of my favorites.
