On my fifth trip to the PNW, I was stationed further north that before. Working in Arlington, I was staying about 30 min south in Mukilteo. Every weekend, I look for ways to entertain myself. Rather than sit through what I assume is a very busy border crossing in Vancouver, I drove up to Sumas […]
What better to do on a Sunday afternoon than look at some grimy old records? I kicked things off at the Goodwill on Everett Mall Way. Two large bins of platters were revealed. A flip through the inventory showed both the mono and stereo version of a Frank Chacksfield album. I actually do own a […]
In late October 2022, I embarked on my third one-month long trip of the year. This time, I would be stationed in Mukilteo WA. Earlier in the year, during a trip to Seattle (my second) I took a ferry to Bainbridge Island. I enjoyed this very much so when I saw there was a ferry […]
I did not have much time to prepare for a trip out west but I reacted very quickly when the opportunity arose. I took decisive action to grab the moment and picked up the phone instead of using email, which I prefer. I don’t know when or if I’ll ever be back but I am […]
South Dakota was a state I thought I might never get the opportunity to visit. Be careful what you wish for, it might just come true! So I embarked on a month long visit to Sioux City. A very short flight got me here with time to kill before I could check in, so I […]
My second trip to Tulsa – had some time to hit up some shops. Probably wouldn’t be worthy of note except for the Chicago polka record seen above (on the right) which I scooped without hesitation. And the only thing better than Christian records with caricature covers are those which also include personalized autographs as […]
It took me a few days in Huntsville AL to understand that I was only 15 minutes from the state line. So at last, I check Tennessee off the list! Didn’t know when I’d ever get this one done. Saw a thrift store in Ardmore, I believe the street it is located on is actually […]
This is my 4th trip through Iowa in the past 6 months or so, and my second time in Des Moines. This time I was here for 3 nights and had some downtime. I checked and while I had perused vinyl in Iowa before, it was a long time ago and not very thorough. So […]
I was perfectly happy to check Nevada off my list with my visit to Record City. But that night I wanted to have a few drinks and selected the Huntridge Tavern at my watering hole. After a couple fairly wild bus rides I found my way and what do you know – there was a […]
Got to make a run through Norman OK through a strange turn of events. Flew into OKC and hung out in downtown Norman very briefly, to ride a Lime scooter and also check out Guestroom Records. I must admit I was a bit disappointed to find that the place retailed largely (or better) new vinyl, […]
