I have been following the opening of this spot for sometime. I have been hanging out in Hegewisch since I worked there for a few years back around 2002. I come out at least every other weekend but every time I would check, the place would be quiet and empty with doors locked. Finally on […]
Upon discovering the unfortunate demise of Raffe’s, I simultaneous discovered the birth of Technoir. As you can see in the store front above, it truly is the spiritual successor. It was a quick dual bus jaunt to take myself from my door step to Technoir’s which was nice on a bit of a blustery day. […]
Made my annual pilgrimage down to the south side to dig through records. Almost 6 years since I went down there. I just created a new tag to combine all my visits into one easy link so click away down below. I have documented 5 trips but I can think of at least one other […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
The old Savers space back behind what was once known as Jewel ‘Grand Bazaar’ finally has a new tenant. I don’t know how many (any?) vinyls I’ve pulled out of SAs in the past, but it is few, that’s for sure. So I wasn’t excited to check this out but as it is in my […]
It’s the places in your backyard that you miss the most easily sometimes. I was headed out to Niles and took a different route than usual, and went right by this place. I immediately checked the clock and quickly calculated what time I thought I might be headed back then checked if I could make […]
I’ve driven past this place so many damn times and wanted to stop in but never did. This is largely because traffic on Touhy is a bit scary, there aren’t quite 2 lanes in each direction, but there isn’t quite a parking lane either. Traffic moves fast and even if you can park in front, […]
Not sure how I never hit this place even once before over the years. Granted I don’t get out there that often but it isn’t very far from my standard stomping grounds. Just a singular, clean bin with a handful of interesting finds as displayed here. The Paul Young album is one shy of his […]
