This was my go to record store. The young female employee, Emily always is brusque. I would breathe a sigh of relief if the nicer staff members were at the counter. She acts this way with the owner right there. I go there for albums so I will just go to the other record stores.

One of the best music shoppes I have ever visited. Tons of CDs, albums, and in every possible musical genre. Friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended.

Once of the absolute nicest bookstores I have come across! It had new and used books (the used books were very reasonably priced). I was happy to spot a few special editions of books too. Aside from books they also had music CDs, cassettes, vinyls, dvds, comic books and manga! Very well curated shop with something for everyone. I would say lil bit of warning to those with allergies to dogs that there is a dog in the shop. Very sweet, gentle, old dog but that’s the only warning I would give. Loved this bookstore!!!

I live in Upstate New York but have a daughter who lives in the area. I stumbled upon this place on a vacation. As previously mentioned, once you walk in the door you are greeted by the staff. I have purchased about a dozen vinyl albums during two different times and must say that the quality of the vinyl is way more than I expected. I have been more than pleased with everything I have purchased without exception. I can say that I will return in future for more
