The staff mainly stayed at the back desk which I found not bad because it gave me space to find what I was looking for and more. The prices differed and one thing could cost 7.99, another, $22.

This place is a sea of movies, music, games, and geeky merchandise!…read more This Movie Exchange is by far the largest I've been to and has an almost overwhelming amount of media to peruse. As with the other CD Exchanges, you're almost guaranteed to find whatever it is you're looking for and so much more. As a fan of martial arts movies, I really enjoy this location as their selection has consistently been better and varied than some of the other locations'. The trade off is that their game selection isn't as impressive. That's not to say that it isn't good, there is in fact a lot to look through, I've just found more hidden gems at other locations. Though I typically skip over the front part if the store during my visits, it is worth mentioning that there is a TON of music to go through and an impressive amount of memorabilia such as action figures and Funko Pop!s, posters, bags and shirts, and a lot more. Everything is fairly priced and there have been instances where I've paid less than what I would have elsewhere or online. If you're a movie buff looking for a quiet place to pass the time, you absolutely have to visit the Movie Exchange.

It is located in a strip mall off Fredericksburg, and it won't be found unless ones looking for it, which I was. It is not a very big place, but it does have a lot of knickknacks, including an impressive collection of stickers, bookmarks, and vinyl records, to name a few. It actually is a pretty neat place. The books are used and for the most part they're very reasonably priced. They do not have an inventory of the books, so you do have to look through shelves, if looking for a particular title. And their staff is only one person at the cashier. Which is to say that you can browse to your heart's content, and discover some major reads. They also had quite a few boxes of books that were under one dollar or $.50. This is one of those places that I intend to return to, because of pricing and to support small businesses. I truly recommend visiting this place. It makes for a fun visit.

Or if you think of a movie that you haven't seen in a while, do the same! If you aren't in the mood to browse, this way is much better. I did this for "Gone With The Wind" one day and I was in and out in two minutes. WAALA! However, if you want to browse, this place has an upstairs and downstairs packed with used CD's and DVD's. The prices are fairly reasonable. Used CD and DVD stores are probably going out of business because of Amazon and Ebay but let's hope this one sticks around for a while for the "get it now" instead of "buy it now" factor. P.S. I am a damn Yankee, so I am not a huge fan of Gone with The Wind. :) Oh Scarlett.

Not to mention I found quite a few uncommon and rarer gems here! Walking into the CD Exchange almost feels like walking back into the nearer past where dvd stores reigned supreme and I absolutely love the nostalgia. Funky music is always playing overhead, the place is so packed with movies that movie stacks line the walls, and the guys running the shop are always super real and helpful if you need anything at all. Even if you aren't looking for any one movie in particular, this is a great place to just go vibe and peruse to your heart's content.

Every artist has some sort of hustle going on. The most simplest way for them to generate a fast…read morebuck is to sell their wares at fleamarkets. Hence, "The Rock and Roll Fleamarket" every few months on Southtown 101 Bar's parking lot. Although there are a few vendors you can still find collectibles, rarities and other items of interest at fair or competitive prices. Items for the most part are geared towards people with tastes in classic horror films, rare vinyl and other rock and roll memorabilia. For example I bought a copy of John Carpenter's debut film, "Dark Star" on VHS for a buck. I found a few cool concert tees that I will eventually cut out and sew onto hoodies. The degree of the inventory you will find is always contingent on the weather. When it's cold the vendors are sparse. But in the Spring booths are more abundant. The crowd ranges from curious Southtown dwellers, crusty punks, metal heads, record collectors and everyone in between. Vendors, who are typically local artists will work with you on prices. In addition the bar is open early on this event with music on the patio, serving drinks and cooking up burgers. It has a Second Saturday feel with a friendly vibe. I really like this small, local market event. Although it occurs every few months it is still worth checking out. Whether you're looking for vinyl to add to your collection, gotta have your horror film fix or trying to jazz up your style with a little R-n-R this might be your place. Parking can be interesting but is still worth it. ps. You know you need that "Slayer" banner to accompany your armoire in your living room ASAP!

There's all kinds of vendors doing their side hustle, selling old VHS tapes, DVDs, CDs and other rock n roll. There's plenty of artsy kinda rock n roll stuff to check out here too. Need pins to put on your leather jacket? They have protest pins for every possible cause. They sell patches to put on your sleeve to show how tough you are at the next Motley Crue concert. There's always fun stuff you can get here to look like a real punk badass in the mosh pit at the next concert. There's usually a few old concert tee shirts for sale, and lots of prints and depictions of rock legends. However, for my tastes, there's never enough paintings of Elvis on black velvet. The fleamarket is held occasionally in the parking lot of the Southtown 101 Bar. They usually blast some heavy metal music, and it's a fun way to find that KISS statue you know you always wanted, or that Gwar mask that would complete your rock n roll ensemble.
