This is still such a wonderful place with a great selection of music and so many cool retail items. And expertly curated and displayed. Still, my most favorite record store I've ever been to. Moved to California 30+ years ago and every time I'm in town I gotta take a peek and do that whole nostalgia trip in my head-if only the walls could talk, OH MY! I love the creaking floors as you walk across the showroom remembering those sounds heard in the basement packing my own orders to ensure in stock items were shipped. The cast of characters that visited and cool musicians- one day Devo came popping through handing out 3-D buttons with those flower pot looking things on their heads and strange jumpsuits. "It's not too late To whip it Into shape Shape it up Get straight Go forward Move ahead" This trip, my daughter and her fiancé came through-my daughter wore my old Electric Fetus company jacket. Old school blue satin-like with my name, embroidered and a beautiful logo with pussy willows or something embroidered on the back. True classic. The nice staff was very friendly and enamored with the jacket and the manager took some pictures which gave my daughter a huge tickle. I think the cat's name is Bob Fuchs and he's been there since the late '80s and a good ambassador of the brand and so kind to indulge us.

Todd In particular (pretty sure that's his name) is always rude and always seems to think I'm stealing??? He instantly starts whispering to the other male employe and they both watch me the entire time. He follows me around the store asking if I'm "still looking" and as soon as pick up an item he asks if he can hold it at the desk for me JEEZ!!!! I've never once stolen in my life and haven't so much as gave this man a funny look. This makes for a really uncomfortable shopping experience for me. Although I love all the products the store has to offer, this has happened multiple times and I'm beginning to opt for the crystal location even though it's a further drive just to keep away from these rude employees.

Compared to other locations, I think it is bigger and has a wide variety to choose from. Originally, I was looking to hopefully snag a cookbook, but didn't plan on finding myself a planner as well. You will find a variety of potential gifts for others or even yourself - ranging from bookmarks, planners, calendars to board games or books. Maybe this is what 40s is looking like to me, but HPB is severely underrated.

As I had plenty of time to spare for Lunch with my brother (at the nearby 5-8 Club), I wandered over. Know Name Records struck me as a combination of a CD/Vinyl records store, a head shop, t-shirt seller, memorabilia collection, head shop, disk golf dealer, and rummage sale. The later was based on a couple sets of old speakers, a turntable, and other vintage items that were for sale. Plus from this person of 65's perspective, it didn't look like the 2 older guys tending the counter had escaped the 60s. :) I had a great time looking around. I wasn't much interested in the weed-related or vinyl merchandise, and I would never get those speakers on the plane. But, the CDs were interesting and I found a great Vikings/Prince "Purple Reign" (if only for that NFL team) jersey that I just had to take home (see picture). I'm sure to come back the next time I'm anywhere this side of the Crosstown Freeway. Plus I'd fully expect that there would be a whole new inventory to explore. Good prices too.
