Once in a great while I get a comment from strangers which is always nice. Nicer still are the even fewer times that I have gotten comments from record store owners who saw their post and let me know they enjoyed it. I don’t go out of my way to trash anyone and I have […]

Idaho Idocy!
A couple years ago I was fortunate enough to head over to Seattle. I had a great time, and checked out some vinyl, and thus ticked Washington off my list. On this trip, I had some work in Spokane and plenty of downtime. I wasn’t about to waste time running ragged in Washington – been […]
Vermont – the last state on the entire east coast I have not been to, stopped in, had a meal, worked in, slept in. The circumstances that set this one up probably will not recur, so I knew I had to take advantage. I arrived on a Monday set to work on Tuesday about 30 […]
I have been through this store and this area too many times to count at this point – I just created a new label to keep track of all these trips so you know it is getting serious!. I pulled some scores out of here over the years and even when I strike out I […]
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 […]
Estate Sale, Wood Dale
Been a solid minute since I hit up an estate sale. I got a tip from a coworker that there was not only one down the street, but that they also had records! I was swamped at work and didn’t think I could get away when I decided – you only live once! So I […]
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 […]
