I’ve been to the Plainfield/Avon area a bunch of times now but somehow never bothered to check the area for record stores. Obviously I underestimated the area because I found Rock Bottom Treasures on a cursory glance at the map! I had my work planned for a Sunday which gave me a very leisurely drive […]

Time Capsule [Seekonk MA]
It was very exciting to come to work in Seekonk because it would allow me to check Massachusetts off of my list. So I made plans to stop on the way from Logan airport because I assumed that there was nothing in Seekonk, and even if there was, I might not have time to stop. […]
I have been to a couple combination record/toy stores. It is a strange combination but it is more common then logic would have you believe.

Catapult Collectibles, Crystal Lake IL

I could have flown direct with United (my preferred carrier) but they wanted double the price which was well outside the […]
A route I have covered before, once on a holiday – it was time again with a day off and nothing to do. I reviewed my own blog and also the always handy Google Maps to create a list of places to go and root around in. First up was the Shelter – I have […]

Weathersfield Way Run
I awoke Saturday morning out in Roselle, feeling dejected that I couldn’t go out and look for records. I’ve covered my thrift store run in the area more than once, (most recently on Thanksgiving) and I know that isn’t enough elapsed time for any kind of stock rotation to occur and I don’t feel like […]
I smelled vinyl on the premises from across the street as I waited for Laurie’s to open. Quake wasn’t open yet either, but I peered inside and could see the record rack through the door. Didn’t buy anything but there was a bunch of nice stuff in here! The first five records I flipped through […]
