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 […]

Goodwill [Plainfield IN]

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 […]

Village Thrift [Pennsauken Township NJ]

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 […]

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 […]

First Baptist Church Thrift Store [Oakdale LA]

I write this while I sip a cold Abita after one of the longest, hardest days of work in my life.  I got into town yesterday (flew to Alexandria) and desperately wanted to check Louisiana off my list.  I sped to a Goodwill and they had no vinyl! I knew that I wouldn’t have much […]

Salvation Army, Clearing

I generally will not go out of my way to hit an SA anymore, they are always sad barren places devoid of any good vinyl, and often it seems, don’t carry any vinyl at all. As part of an especially relaxing morning, I got my work done in Marquette Park (where coincidentally I also hit […]

St. Vincent [Billings MT]

As already described, I stepped out of a Billings breakfast and stumbled into a record store.  Just before that, I came across a St. Vincent.  Alas, it was permanently closed but they left a forwarding address.  So I started to walking across Billings to my destination. It was a 1/2 mile or so I think […]

Savers [Fargo ND]

This was maybe the most run down Savers I’ve been to, at least from the outside.  In a shady darkened parking lot, their neighbor had moved out.  Not sure who Savers got this building from, it is huge and the exterior looks like hell.  I’ve also never seen that slogan ‘The Thrift Department Store” before […]
