The small shop is split in two: the main section is packed heartily with a dreamy stock of new and used CDs, while the annex is a... more

This is the best record store in Ohio. You almost always find the most obscure thing you thought to look for and alot else you hadn't.If this is the last record store you stop at in town, you'll regret the money you spent everywhere else. So come here first.

Pros

+ Trade value, Selection new & used, Vinyl Heaven
