I've only gone in there twice so far and I've come out with 9 records in both trips because I loved their selection so much. The customer service is nothing special but they're helpful and friendly to me at least, probably because I'm a 14 year old. The atmosphere is great and they have fairly priced albums there. Great place to shop around and I'll definetly be coming back.

I've decided to explore the city's used bookstores. It seems we have quite a few, and I wasn't…read moreaware of many of them. Nine lives books was one of them. 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.

Ive been trying to get him to take a break and go to Batcave for some good music therapy and we were impressed by the owner's knowledge of the music in his shop as random a all the crates are. Super friendly and doesn't hover. We were the only ones in the shop at the time and he didn't distract by asking hundreds of questions, he just let us explore and answered questions as we had them. Highly recommend for good 'ole fashion treasure hunt.

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.

I brought in 15 books today and I got five dollars and while that may not sound too bad, I shop here enough to know that they will eventually be marked at eight or nine dollars a piece. I love shopping for recycled, thrift and used items but this is a slap in the face to their customers and it makes me not want to buy anything from their store.

I did notice that there was plenty of parking right in front of the building. This is a used book store that sells many other items including comic books, DVDs, records, board games, and VHS tapes. Lately, when I have gone, I have been spending time in the Foreign Book section. I have been trying to learn Japanese, so I have been getting manga that is in Japanese to judge my progress. What I have learned is that I have a long way to go. The last few times I have gone, there has been either a very small line or no line to the register. I recommend this place because you don't know what you'll find here that might interest you.

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.
