    A few blocks from downtown Vancouver Washington, though SO WORTH IT ! I thought it was a…read moreCorporation, because the Name used to be "Corporate". To my Surprise it was NOT. The Owner "RILEY" is a Super Nice Guy, and he is Extremely knowledgeable about Music and Movies. JOEL is his brother and is the Owner as well. Their prices on DVD (and some Blueray) movies are as low a $1, though most of his movies are fairly priced, and are Sequenced in "Alphabetical" order. He has a Expansive VARIETY of ALBUMS as well. He even has Music CDS !, and "Hard to Find" Albums, DVDS, CDS and Blu-rays. RILEY (who I met) is just a REALLY GOOD GUY ! He is a "RARE BREED" when it comes to Business Owners these days. Because ALL that they think of is MONEY and are "GREEDY" ! Everybody that came to the Store left HAPPY, with plenty of "Good Finds". While I was there (for Hours) looking through their DVD Selection, I heard EVERYONE telling RILEY how much they Enjoyed his store. This place is a "GEM" ! I Really don't want to share this place, because it's a "Treasure-Trove"...But I will ! THIS PLACE IS "GOLD" !

    This is a great store than I just stumbled upon after another record store in the area closed. It's…read morea small store but don't let that keep you away! They cram a lot of stuff into this small shop - CD's, records, DVD's, even a few cassettes and 8 tracks. And the best part is, the prices are very fair - much better than a lot of other shops in the Northwest. On top of that, it's run by someone who loves music.

    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.

    This is pretty large consignment style record store, there is a lot to go through, some organized…read moresome not so much. Prices seem fair and you can find some cool vinyl but you are gonna spend some time digging through crates on the ground, there is one listening station available and works and sounds good enough to sample what you find. If you are looking for techno house breaks, it's here but you will be digging to pull it out.
