There's always something interesting playing on their system, which makes the time spent flipping through their stacks even better. They have everything from discount bins to audiophile pressings, all categorized by genre, new vs used, and they seem to actually spend time keeping them well alphabetized. In addition to a great vinyl collection, they have a decent selection of CDs, cassettes, and 45's, as well as some vintage gear and their own shirts, etc. Getting there is the hardest part, the Elevation Church likes to block the parking lot unnecessarily on random weekends, and aren't very considerate of the businesses they share the lot with, but it's worth the hassle. It's my first stop each Saturday AM that I can get over there. You can then thread the needle of the parking lot over to Hardy Boys Records (in the Brass Grasshopper) before heading down to Mad Jack's to complete a trifecta of record store stops in Matthews.

They are always busy (which is great) but sometimes the parking lot in front stresses me out. It's worth braving the parking lot to browse the vinyl and other collectables. Staffers here are always welcoming and willing to help (if you are trying to find something specific). Wide range of music here from Movie Soundtracks all the way through all the genres. Theres always something playing over the stores sound system to make the experience a fun and full vinyl browsing experience.

Lunchbox Records is a small vinyl shop with a wide collection of records available. Though parking…read morewas limited and a bit tight, this is to be expected in Charlotte - it is great they have free parking spaces in general. My date took me here calling it her "secret spot" - yet it didn't seem so underground when we arrived, with lots of couples and friendly faces shopping around. :) They offer CDs and cassette tapes, as well. I had been looking to build my collection of Mac Miller's music, and I was successful - they had almost all his albums, I was pleasantly surprised! Stop by here if you are looking to buy new or used vinyls, or if you're looking to get rid of some older ones. Thank you for a great experience!

If you're looking for a signed book or rare collectible and are in the area, this one is absolutely worth a stop. They have their own parking lot and the second floor is easily accessible with ramp for anyone who has a difficult time climbing stairs. We'll absolutely go back here. This is a good find for someone who likes fancy and old books in a used-inventory shop.

TheToysJustWannaHaveFun at Red Genesis…read more Red is a rad dude. I visited hid sweet little shop in Gastonia, NC this past holiday season, where I met the proprietor, Red. In business for ten months (if I remember details correctly), Red has a great thing going on, and I hope to visit and make some purchases again. The shop is cozy and not overflowing with a disorganized mess of toys, despite the fact he could probably squeeze more product in there. There are several display cases with some of my favorite toy lines, such as Exo-Squad, Masters of the Universe, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and so much more, with tons of great toys and action figures from the 1980s through today, and likely with some older vintage toys as well. He's got eclectic lines such as Germs (1988). There are packaged figures and loose figures bagged up, GI Joe, Star Wars, Marvel Legends, DC Superheroes, and so much more, to varying degrees of completeness. From what I could tell, prices are reasonable and competitive. Red has got video games and systems too. VHS! There are some good dollar comic books, which I partook in while also finding a fun LEGO insert catalog I missed out on during my "dark ages." There's a little free box where I got my Wizard of Oz-loving friend a great little Tin Man. I wanted to dig out one or two more things, but didn't want to be greedy, but there is some great stuff in there! I also witnessed Red being super awesome with a father and his young kid, finding some Captain America items to make that kid's day! That's some great service from someone who not only loves having this store, but also loves the sense of joy and wonder he can create within the community of collectors and players young and old. Heck, I called on a Tuesday (one of his closed days) and he answered to let me know his hours for the week--customer service can't exceed that quality! If you make it to the Charlotte, NC area, be sure to stop by Red Genesis, and consider dropping some green.

They've got a wide selection of one-hitters, water pipes, spoons, etc. for all your 'tobacco' needs. The place is crammed with hippy accessories, concert t-shirts, black light posters, and bumper stickers. The prices are all very reasonable, and they even offer a Yelp check-in deal! Score! The staff was rather nonchalant, but that was perfect for what I was looking for. The selections were stellar. I've never seen so many smoking accessories in one store. They honestly had everything, from the cheap low end stuff to the ultra-high end accessories. Their jewelry was rather nice, with lots of things that would be right at home at a Grateful Dead concert. Parking wasn't too bad, since we were there on a weekday afternoon. Check this place out!

After you make in past the Cheshire cat painted on the door, you'll get a huge whiff of 1972. Plenty of patchouli.

Yet if you're looking for something smoke-specific, you can probably find it at Sunshine Daydreams. In addition to the tobacco assistance items, there are funny and random stickers, flasks, herbal based skin and hair products, etc. The staff are super laid back and cool, just as you would imagine they would be.
