Garage Sale, Elmhurst

On a rainy Saturday afternoon, I was very pleased to find that of the 3 garage sales that had the word ‘records’ in their descriptions on gsalr.com, one of them was just a couple blocks from my girlfriends house. (the other two were 10-20 miles away).  So I sped over on my bike through the […]

Goodwill [Oshkosh WI]

Not much going on here….maybe 12 records stuffed next to a bunch of old video tapes.  I did find a cookbook I needed but I guess that is a bit outside the realm of what we do here, at this blog.  Any Debbie Gibson collectors however – now you know where to go.

Metropolitan Ministries Thrift Store [Tampa FL]

Last year on my day trip to Tampa I hit a local (and excellent) record store.  I was pleased to find that there was a thrift store within walking distance and when I called they confirmed the presence of vinyl. I walked north on Florida Ave. from downtown and watched things get progressively more dicey […]

O-Town Jaunt (Post #200)

So I set out on another 20 miler to hit some old and new spots on a Tuesday afternoon.  I took link 50 all the way into the city down I-4 with my bike in tow so I could cruse around.  I had hopes to top things off with a nice lunch near the station […]

Goodwill [Orlando FL]

I’ve only been in one other Goodwill store like this but apparently some stores sell literally by the pound.  Everything is stuffed into huge tubs and its 90% clothes.  While last time around I hit it big, I found about 5 records this time and it was all junk.  Worse yet I went far out […]

R’ n ‘R Records [Orlando FL]

A year ago, I conquered a trio of O-Town record stores all within a triangle near the Lynx Central Station.  Frustrated with the lack of thrift stores, I searched Google again, much as someone looks into their empty fridge, hoping some scrap of food might miraculously appear. Well one did for me, but it was […]

Run Through MN

Started off at the Goodwill in Eagan MN.  I got into town a few hours before my colleague so I grabbed the rental car we were sharing and headed over. I instantly hit it big with some polka platters and even some barbershop! As I have done more than once, when I start seeing a […]

Albany NY Circuit

If my time in Atlanta was limited, Albany even more so.  Most would have said ‘forget it’ and given up on digging for records at all.  I didn’t even have a car! I was stuck at my hotel but guess what: Goodwill was only about 1.5 miles away! So I headed out. As I walked […]

St. Vincent, Addison

I come in here pretty regularly but I don’t blog about it often.  Seems like I’ve had worse luck here than at other St. V’s I’ve been to only one time.  I did pull a Tappan Zee LP out of here not too long ago….and today, and Eng comp – really the last one I […]
