The family and I live out beyond the West Hills, but I genuinely enjoy my few trips to Milwaukie…read more Before we lost Kellogg Bowl to the pandemic, it was one of the few towns in the Portland metro where you still had your pick of bowling alleys. The far-flung Milwaukie brewery was my first taste of Breakside, and I'm glad to see the town has drawn a Pfriem location as well. Get a steak at Acropolis at least once. But Great American? OK, maybe it's a little like having the Quick Stop and RST Video from Clerks if they were taken over by Latter Day Saints, but it's an impressive library of rentals (if a few steps below Movie Madness) at a budget-friendly rental price. But that's not what drew me here. Portland has no problem pushing a bowl of bingsu at you on a hot day, testing your interest in Hawaiian shave ice or, or occasionally dipping a toe into kakigori or halo-halo, but it knows absolutely jack shit about Italian ice. Derived from the Sicilian granita and best described as a denser sorbet or a dairy free sherbet, Italian ice (or water ice for you Mid Atlantic kids) is a back east summer staple that occasionally appears in the Portland metro area until a pandemic or lack of interest kills it dead. With only one real producer of it here, in Gresham, Italian ice is hard to come by outside of a supermarket freezer--and I'd rather pay shipping for some Marino's than subject myself to the war crime that is Luigi's lemon ice. But Great American keeps it in high supply and plays the hits: Lemon, watermelon, root beer, black cherry, mango. Not only do they sell it alongside frozen custard--a classic boardwalk combo and the pairing that made Philly-based Rita's famous--but they'll occasionally throw in a mind-blowing seasonal like raspberry lemon. I'm good for only about one trip a year, but lately less. Thankfully, a friend on the east side is also from my corner of the world and occasionally smuggles us a couple of quarts on the Italian ice underground. This last trip? Root beer and raspberry lemon. The texture is perfect and the flavors are spot on. I'm not used to refreezing it, so I've noticed it solidifies a bit after the first serving, but otherwise, I can't recommend it enough. It isn't the place on the corner where I grew up, and it isn't the Little Jimmy's Italian ice trucks rolling through the neighborhood, but it's a little scoop of home that I can sit and enjoy with Dante and Randall when we all feel we aren't supposed to be here today.

They are engaging in person and have a really active social media presence on Facebook with constant updates on what new items they've picked up. If you have any interest in games, figures, collectibles, or any other nerdy hobbies, I'd urge you to go in and meet the lovely couple that run this shop. 10/10 in my book.

There are plenty of games from the latest systems but the amount of games for the Wii / ps3 era and before is incredibly large. The entire wall behind their counter is covered with super cool boxes from retro gaming systems and has a lot of personality. It's worth the visit just to see that wall by itself.

I bought what is probably a crappy little record player because I spend more time at home now and I…read morewas harkening back to a time when I listened to whole albums nonstop without skipping tracks (I'm looking at you: What's the Story (Morning Glory)?) and I had a sweet little domestic vision of playing a record while I cook dinner and having it sit on a table in my dining room. So I was thrilled when I searched used record stores (um, the new Lana Del Rey is a pre-order for $45[!!!!] and I don't see myself commiting in such a monumental way) and found this one in my neighborhood. Armed with the knowledge from a few YouTube videos, I knew how to handle a record (gently and without touching the grooved portions), how to avoid common pitfalls (mismatched UPC from record and covers for reissues, checking the album cover spine for drop damage, & that the most common scratch place is right at the beginning of track 1 where people drop the needle on the vinyl) along with what can be fixed at home (dusty dirt smudges and smears) and what can't (deeper scuffs, scratches, warping). Also learned (surprisingly) a sealed record does not necessarily mean mint condition, it could be warped or damaged despite being unopened. Not an expert yet but confident enough to at least go in to the store. I practiced first at Goodwill but their selection must get picked over by resellers right quick because it was stuff that shouldn't even be for sale. Crossroads was my 3rd stop. My understanding is that this is like an antique mall where there are many sellers using the space. When I got my receipt, he said fifty sellers, I think. This was confusing at first because I saw "rock" then proceeded to keep seeing "rock" in every row. It looked like anything valuable (maybe over $30-50) was kept up front but the covers are placeholders in the stacks. As far as covid compliance, people kept their distance and wore masks. I had a nice Friday off from work flipping thru the bins and found a few things I think I could see myself listening to: Some french pianist doing the Beatles mashed up with classical pieces, and a Charlie Parker quartet/quintet greatest hits (can't go wrong there). I spent $12 on the two and was told the receipt doesn't matter so much as the sticker because it links to the specific seller. My record player is shipping so I don't have it yet but I anticipate coming here with some regularity. I also followed one of the sellers on Facebook, it's "hamspapershack". I'm never gonna be a major collector or drop a ton of money, but I can see myself growing a modest collection of used records that I listen to on sunny afternoons, rainy reading days, or probably most often, making dinner. I'm glad Crossroads is hanging in! A few housekeeping details: they take payment cards and have a small parking area of about 3 spaces. I also heard a tip in my YouTube research that some/most record stores will have a turntable for you to try a record yourself- not sure if this is Rona Protocol or like this all the time, but this one didn't have a customer turntable that I saw.
