But after walking in, I wound up staying an extra 10 minutes marveling at the beauty of the store and it's impressive record selection. There are plenty of vinyl selection available for purchase; plus you can order whatever they don't carry and pick it up at the store (hence the Foo Fighters album). Plus there's cds and cassette tapes adorning the shelves that brings some 80's-90's nostalgia. And they are available for purchase. The store is family-run with owners who are nice and welcoming. We made some small talk and I mentioned I was in San Antonio on business. They appreciated me coming in and picking up a record from them. We mentioned I'll be back the next time I'm in San Antonio to check out their inventory and perhaps come away with some more music material. I definitely intend to make that happen soon!

As a recent transplant via Lubbock in this charming city I was fortunate enough to be informed of a local radio station that has been in business for decades and has helped fuel a music scene that is uniquely Texan. KEDA 1540 was brought my attention by my roommate whom has lived in San Antonio since the 70s. KEDA has revived my former love of Tejano music and more specifically conjunto music which gave birth to this purely Texan art form. As a resident of other cities in Texas, I noticed that the Tejano format seemed to be dying away has a newer more "International" "regional Mexican" format became the favorite of National radio conglomerates. When I found out about KEDA, I quickly learned that the format was alive and well here in San Antonio. And being that this independent radio station did not have the same music as the conglomerates, the music would become more difficult to find in your local record shop (another dying institution) for your local Walmart or Best Buy. Here in comes Janie's Record Shop. After I called the radio station to ask about the song, I was recommended this store to find the music for which I had been longing. The location was tucked away on Bandera and by the painting of the accordion on the front window, I had known I was in the right place. As I walked in, I noticed a glass cabinet of CDs in it and a few other racks more CDs that were split up by category. The lady from behind the counter we had introduced herself as Becky, the daughter of Jamie had asked if I had needed any help. I pulled out my iPhone and played a recording that I had made from the radio. In about 10 seconds, she had quickly recognize the song and said, "I have that." She then proceeded to the back of the store and brought out a CD and played a copy of the same CD for me on a small radio that she had in the store. She the song and played it for me to make sure that it was what I have been looking for. She then asked if I had been looking for anything else and made a few other recommendations on the song that I had asked. I was so happy that I found the song and I did not notice he also had another room with records and tapes. If I wasn't with a friend I probably would've spent a good part of the afternoon looking at all of the music. I will definitely return and make an afternoon of it.

I'm a big fan of Goodwill in general, but this particular location off Loop 410 is one of my favorites. They have a huge selection of gently used, reasonably priced merchandise, easily navigable aisles, and helpful, courteous staff. Whenever I visit a Goodwill, I make a beeline for the media section towards the back. Here you will find many goodies: beastly, bulky CRT TV's, woodgrained HiFi equipment from the 70's, tons of DVDs, and (if you're lucky) an occasional vintage video game console or computer from the late 70's/early 80's. This location features a huge selection of dirt-cheap VCR's, which I've used as passthrough devices to connect antique video game consoles to modern TV's. Shopping for clothes has never been my forte, but I've been impressed with their selection of menswear. If you're in the market for a $5 pair of gently worn Levi's, ties, or dress shirts, then swallow your pride and visit this location. You'll save a fortune and no one will know you purchased your ensemble from a thrift store. Before you leave, be sure to peruse the items housed in the display cases towards the front. On one occasion, I spotted two somewhat rare handheld video game systems for $10 each. Both the GameCom and the WonderSwan sell for considerably more online, so I made out like a bandit. The former is universally considered one of the worst systems of all time (hence its ironic popularity among retro gamers), and the latter was a Japanese product never released in North America. Unbeknownst to me, the WonderSwan came installed with a Japanese RPG game cartridge, which would have set me back at least $30 had I purchased it online. How Goodwill came in possession of either system is a mystery, but I dare not look a gift horse in the mouth. Regardless of your interests, you're bound to find at least something interesting every time you visit. When you're finished shopping, consider dropping by Leon Valley Cafe on Evers Road for a great home-cooked meal. See my review for more details.

Like most Goodwills I've visited, the merchandise is well organized, the bargains are plenty, and the staff is friendly and helpful. What's not to like? Well, I suppose the location is a bit "sketchy," but I frequent thrift stores and charity shops to find good deals, not to post commentary on the socioeconomic status of a particular neighborhood. Never once have I felt threatened walking in the parking lot. Whether you're shopping for gently worn clothes, appliances, toys, electronics, or media (CD, vinyl, cassette, DVD, VHS, games, etc.), you're likely to find at least one treasure per visit. I'm always on the lookout for video game paraphernalia and VCRs to hook up vintage RF consoles to modern TVs via composite. This location has come through for me on several occasions. On recent visits, I've picked up a fully functional VCR for $3.99, an RCA/S-video five-port switch box for $4.99, several Wii titles for $1.99 each, a Game Boy cartridge for 50 cents, and a set of "Donkey Konga" bongos for only $4.99. These are the types of bargains you will find only at garage sales, flea markets, and charity shops. Pro tip: Treat yourself to a soul-satisfying meal at the nearby Tip Top Cafe after shopping here. I emphasize "after," because the ensuing chicken fried steak food coma will dull your senses and cause you to overlook any hidden gems at the store.
