Great record store! Probably the biggest one I've seen since moving down to South Florida a few…read moreyears back. Great vibe. Reminded me of a record shop that I used to frequent back in Queens, NY in the 90s. If you're into rock and metal, you'll definitely love the selection here. They had all kinds of cool albums, including some really interesting sets and Record Store Day releases that you just don't see everywhere. They also had a bunch of reggae, soul and dance LP's. Prices were a little bit higher than you could find online for most things, but there were some deals here and there. My daughter found a bunch of singles for a buck or two that we're going for more money on eBay. She was psyched. One thing that I was disappointed with was that the selection appeared to be like 95% new vinyl. I was hoping to find some used bins to look through but it was really slim pickens for diamonds in the rough. That aside, gotta love a record store like this. I will definitely be back in the near future. Five stars.

Where do ya go on RSD? On record store day, you go to a good record store and enjoy…read more Last satuday we headed out to a spot I hadn't been to before, "We Got the Beats". It's a humble location; it's in a quiet strip mall off Oakland Park blvd. Honestly, as we pulled in to the mostly empty parking lot I thought we had the wrong location. But as we entered I realized what few mall customers there were, were all in the shop. And what a nice space it was. Old school basic layout that I liked. Just boxes and boxes of vinyl to sift through. They were well organized, with punk, funk, and more all set in their areas. And the RSD specials were displayed above each of the areas they related to. It's not a huge store, but with the limited quantity it helped me find a couple things I liked. Glad to make the acquaintance of We Got the Beats, and hope to be back soon.

Also, people are hanging out and they're playing music, so it's a really nice vibe. I wound up finding two cool records in their discount bin and my daughter picked up albums by Metallica and Ozzy Osbourne. Overall, we both left happy. While I love to support local businesses and record stores, I do have to mention that their prices are a little bit on the high side. Not that it would prevent me from going back or anything, because like I said it is a great little record shop. However they are definitely more expensive than other area record stores and way more expensive than what you could find online. One of the albums my daughter got was like 36 bucks but we later saw it in the same condition on Discogs for half that.

She was extremely reasonably priced, though! If you're in or around Hollywood Beach, definitely go. There's a very sweet sense of camaraderie between the folks working there absolutely destroying each other emotionally and psychologically and also there was a very nice regular.

RETRO STUFF HERE…read more.. Corner shop in Dania Beach that buys, sells & trades various retro toys, records, comics, action figures and Pokemon cards. Simple free parking directly in front of the store. Met with the owner, Angel, who displayed an enigmatic smirk, as we chatted about his nostalgic store and seemed very knowledgeable about his inventory. The merch was easily visible in multiple sections of genre. Im gonna bring in some of my vintage Marvel action figure collectibles for an appraisal and hopeful sale. The comics from the 1980s were competively priced for their condition and rarity. Center store there was a display case of retro pinback buttons provided a quick flashback of the past. This was the kind of store where you could easily lose track of time! Definitely recommend a peek for all collectors or unique gift ideas.

Kpop Kastle in Davie, FL, is on fire y'all…read more I love Kpop! I don't care who knows... not even my tall, handsome Colorado cowboy. When I saw this near Tealicious (bubble tea shop) on Google Maps, I knew I had to stop here. And the two shops often collab together! My 10-year-old was stoked about this too. We popped in after a Tealicious visit on 6/6/2024. Kpop Kastle may be small in size, but it packs a serious punch. And everything is clean. Organized. Up-to-date. Albums. Photo cards. Plush animals. Lightsticks. Some clothing. Accessories like pouches, keychains, jewelry. Skincare items like sheet masks. Makeup. Posters. Much more. Free parking in a plaza lot. Follow them on the 'Gram @kpopkastle.

This is the place to be. Because they have great social media, I was able to find out that Tiny Blips were going to be playing at Connect. So, I headed over after a stellar performance by Totem Cave at Art Serve. When I got there, it was a little crowded, but the atmosphere and vibes were popping. I was able to get closer to the stage and get my groove on. It would be a little difficult to describe TB's music as a genre, but they combined electronic DJ grooves with funk filled, live bass, guitar, and saxophone. Whoever designed the store space definitely LOVES music. There are many posters and paraphernalia throughout. Not to mention the wide range of music that they have for sale, even with reduced price crates for every type of music lover. There's enough room to shake your tail feather if you're feeling the tunes, and TB had a couple of their newly released albums for sale as well after the event. I am a proud owner. Because of the intimate quarters, it was possible to talk with members of the band after the show. I look forward to seeing some more performances, buying more albums, and just hanging out with cool and vibeful people. If you're into those things, you should come check out Connect Records.

The mix of original albums, digitally remastered vinyl, and compact discs available to browse in old style black wooden bins. The classic dual record players on the front counter is the centerpiece of the shop and definitely creates a perfect vibe for music lovers. On Saturday nights, a DJ spins records of different genres offering a unique experience for both casual listeners and dedicated vinyl enthusiasts. The comfy seating permits a community atmosphere for chatting with fellow vinyl addicts which would really enhance the experience. It was exciting rediscovering some childhood memories among the records.

Books-A-Million has a long history going all the way back to 1917 in Florence, Alabama, when 14 year old Clyde W. Anderson began a news stand business to support his family after the death of his father. From these humble beginnings Clyde's son, Charles C. Anderson expanded the books store left to him by his father into a chain of stores. Today they are the second largest chain of book stores in the U.S. operating close to 300 stores in more than 30 state. Books-A-Million is bright and inviting. They have a large selection of books from classics to the latest bestseller and periodicals but they also sell games, greeting cards, toys, T-shirts, collectibles, candy, house hold goods, collectibles, and more. I especially love their Florida section. This is the kind of store where it is easy to find a gift for that hard to shop for person. I have purchased a lot of presents here through the years as well as the latest beach book. I always discover something unique whenever I stop in. You can order books online but there is something so satisfying about going into a bookstore and holding the books in your hands as you make your decision. That is why this is always a top stop in the mall for me.

Found some nice comics from the 1970s and 1980s but not too many. Searched for a few to complete my comic book collection with negative results.

Older comic books and action figures are more my thing, but I understand the store is more influenced by hobbies and games.
