He particularly wants to highlight local artists and their work, and soon they'll be having live music in store. This is a truly unique independent record store that deserves supporting, so drop by and get your vinyl fix!

My coworker dumped the task of getting a house wired up for a 3-day hybrid meeting on me the week…read morebefore a 9am Monday morning start -- which meant a Sunday setup with hardly any notice. I reached out to a few places, but Canal Sound & Light were the only ones who could do it. That was my lucky break. Saturday before the event, the venue calls to say their HVAC system is busted and they need to move us to a different location down the street. Canal Sound & Light were awesome throughout. Even though I'd never organized a meeting like this, they identified what we needed, gave us a reasonable quote for it, made themselves available for setup and teardown before/after the event, and even adjusted the equipment rental and pricing on the fly when they realized we didn't need a TV because the new venue had one in place already. Everyone was super nice, clearly knew what they were doing, and yet never talked down to me. And the sound was so good, the remote participants could hear us better than we could hear each other in the room. @_@ The event was August 2022, but I realized I never wrote a review. They totally deserve 5 stars. I hope they never go out of business.

They have an amazing selection of vinyl and a small stock of cool vintage tees as well. So, with all this great stuff, why only four stars? Well, the prices for vinyl and the tees are just fully top dollar. If they were a little bit more reasonable I would want to throw up six freaking stars.

How have I not reviewed them yet? Tbf I don't think I've reviewed many bookstores (which I need to…read morefiiiiix). One of my favorites, though! Love the curated sections like the one with BAM-recommended titles. They also bring new releases in at lightning speed. A few weeks ago, I came for Richard Scarry-themed Inciardi prints and a new book but stayed for the quaint yet busy atmosphere where turning every corner feels like uncovering a hidden literary world. The kids area in the back is ADORABLE and features a little reading cave. In love with the cookbooks and architectural books around there, too. Their website notes upcoming literary events and is well-organized; full of fun BAM-themed merchandise. Open 10AM - 6PM *daily* -- support local!
