Hear Again has both new and used records, as well as a killer cassette selection that includes a lot of recently released music, which is hard to find. Everything is priced extremely reasonably. The person behind the counter is always super kind and personable, and willing to help out and give great suggestions. This is a great place for a music lover to be on a hot day (or any day).

Music lovers, rejoice!…read more If you're looking for a place where great music is key, look no further! When I first started my record collection, I asked my music-loving co-worker where to go and he immediately recommended Hear Again! Located in downtown Gainesville only a few cobblestoned steps from the legendary Hippodrome Theater, Hear Again has a fantastic location in the heart of the city. You'll usually know when the shop is open based on the standing sign that is propped up during business hours! Upon entrance into the store, you're surrounded by some of the greatest tunes to ever be pressed on their various mediums with more genres that you could even count. Hear Again is so wonderfully organized and arranged, there never seems to be a a CD or vinyl out of alphabetical or genre order - talk about arrangement! The wonderful store owner also keeps a running list online of available vinyls, also available on their Instagram page which is updated weekly with new arrivals or sales. My favorite portion of the store? The used records! I've scored vinyls in prime condition for $5 or even less! One of my favorite details about Hear Again? Their COVID practices! Upon entry, you get your temp checked, hands sprayed with alcohol/sanitizer and you are then provided with gloves. I love it!! So if you're planning to show some love to your music collection soon, Hear Again has all the greats your record player could want!

Made my first visit to Jolly's last month when I was vacationing in the area. Not being from the…read morearea, I did not know what to expect when visiting here. I was impressed and very much enjoyed getting to shop around! Jolly's Antiques & Shabby Chics is a curated antique shop located in Chiefland on the main drag of town. The shop is rather large, and they have many booths that are filled by different antiquers. Everything can be browsed through and purchased in this one location. So, there is a healthy variety of selection and types of items throughout the shop. I did not exactly count the number of booths, but there are probably at least 50 different ones throughout. There is a private parking lot for the store. We visited on a Tuesday afternoon in July, and it was not crowded. The selection will obviously vary and change due to the nature of the store. However, there were booths with antiques, handmade items, and other vendor-made items (candles, etc.). Along with typical smaller antiques, there was a healthy selection of furniture and large items to browse through as well. There was not much of any clothing, so if you are looking for that, this likely would not be the shop to visit. Since there are so many booths and things to see, you could spend a good amount of time here looking at everything. I was probably browsing for the better part of 45 minutes, and still probably could have hung around longer to look at more! I ended up going home with an old Alabama Christmas vinyl record, that I plan to display as part of my Christmas decor this upcoming season. There were several furniture pieces I would have loved to snag, but since I was visiting the area on vacation, I did not have the proper room in the car to get them back home with me. It will vary from seller to seller most likely, but I thought the prices for all items were fair. You feel as though you are getting the value for the prices paid, in my opinion. Also, the staff was kind and friendly during my visit. They made sure to package and wrap items with care that you purchased, as well as gave inputs and answered any questions asked. My visit to Jolly's gets five start from me. I come back to this area at least once a year, and I look forward to being able to visit again amid see all of the new items that have made their way to the shop. If you are local or find yourself near this shop, I would recommend giving it a visit!

The male said he hated her guts and the female agreed and went on to complain about how the wedding shut things down in New York. I'm not a Swift fan, don't listen to her music, but this conversation went on for a while and was very unprofessional. Of course they are entitled to their opinions, but to express that level of negativity near the register as opposed to maybe the breakroom is inappropriate.

When I entered I was overcome by a horribly strong odor of what seems to be a combination of bad incense & herb burning for many years. The store suffered from the 4Ds.....dark, dingy, dusty & dirty. In fact any merchandise that isn't sealed should be considered used as it is all tainted with a layer of residue from the burning of items. In so far as pressured sales, yes they do suffer from that also even to the extent of as you're heading toward the door. The couple of items I had a somewhat interest in the shopkeeper could not demonstrate or explain them correctly. Personally I couldn't get out of there quick enough to get fresh air in my body. To add to the dismal experience I had to maneuver myself around beer cans in the parking lot.

Last month I visited this thrift store with my elderly mother. When we entered, we noticed a…read more"service dogs only" sign. My mother has a legally recognized service dog in Massachusetts, so we didn't anticipate any issues. We spent about 15 minutes browsing and had items we intended to purchase. When my mother's back started hurting, I grabbed her small dog to help. At that point, two employees approached us in an aggressive and confrontational manner, demanding to know why she had the dog and insisting it needed to leave. The way this was handled was extremely upsetting and, frankly, humiliating, especially toward an elderly customer with anxiety in the first place. Rather than addressing the situation respectfully, we felt singled out and surrounded while simply trying to shop. I ended up taking the dog out to the car, and we left shortly after. Unfortunately, this experience completely overshadowed what should have been a simple visit. Between the high prices and the way customers are treated, I would strongly recommend choosing one of the many other thrift stores in the area. Compassion and basic respect go a long way, and this was a very disappointing experience.
