I swear it made me at least a decade younger, just flipping through, admiring the album art, remembering the same album covers I used to see back when I owned a JVC sound system and sang and danced in my room.

Well I'm breaking that seal. A record vendor in Fort Myers told me about this when I mentioned I was staying in the Punta Gorda area for a few days. It was only fitting I pay a visit to see what's in store. So the store may not be the biggest but the fact they sell records and CDs will light up the bulbs in your shopaholic/music wandering mind. Also you can request records w/ TJ and he'll make a special order for it so it'll be at the store. Just make sure you pick it up. If not it'll just sit there. But that's how I found The Struts' Everybody Wants album just sitting around so that person's loss is my gain! Doubles as a head-shop in addition to records/CDsDVDs so lighters and other accessories are in inventory if that's your thing. Music is my thing which I'm glad they carry. Not the biggest selection but to be in the Punta Gorda/Port Charlotte area is a positive in my eyes!
