    Business not respecting my time

    Walked over a mile from my hotel to check this place out based on the high ratings. Arrived at 11:20am on a Thursday. Hours online and the doorway 11a-7p closed Monday....door locked, lights out. No sign in the window saying "we will be closed may 29"....if you can't be open when you say you will and respect the time of potential customers, instant 1 star. Now for a mile walk back to th

    Very knowledgeable staff, and they are very welcoming, and do not judge you on your taste or lack of musical knowledge.

    Oh my goodness, cheap thrills music, where do I even begin. One day I was in this wonderful store,…read moreand I was browsing through the delightful CD selection, when my eyes locked onto a beautiful sight; Crackwhore - Somebody Loves You. This CD is truly a blessing from the heavens and delivered to us via the prophet Robert. This is both the greatest album in history, and the greatest album of today. This is what happens when you search through a vault of precious 24 karat gold, and still manage to leave with the highest quality platinum. This CD ruined all other albums for me, nothing else even holds a candle. The beautiful singing, the masterful guitar work, the majestic drumming, God I can't even accurately describe how exquisite it is. I immediately wished to purchase this masterpiece, but as this work of art was so coveted, as at the time there was zero information easily findable on the internet, the store owner and I reached an agreement. We would do research on how much the CD originally sold for and I would later return to this treasure trove to agree on a price. 1 week later I made my return, and after discovering that it originally sold for an affordable 5 U.S dollars, the prophet Robert, in all of his wondrous generosity, let me have it for 10. That is the story of how I obtained the pinnacle of human expression in music form on one, inexpensive, incredible CD. Thank you for reading this section of feedback, and please consider visiting this establishment, as I can guarantee that you will leave a happy patron with the greatest music one could ever hear, except of course, for Crackwhore, as only I am lucky enough to have a copy of humanity's magnum opus.

    Most records I've ever seen in my life. He literally had every album in existence. It was hard to…read moremove around there were so many. They are all priced well and affordable. He is the most amazing guy to, he tells all kinds of stories and has incredible music knowledge. You might be there for a while but trust me it is 100000% worth it.
