I also, at one point, ended up delivering newspaper for this bureau in high school. The building is located in downtown Johnstown on the streets that surround Central Park. The real reason I am writing this review is for that statue. I love that statue. It is a well known landmark in the city. The statue is of a steelworker reading a newspaper while holding a thermos full of coffee. This statue has made at least one appearance in a movie that I know I have seen, 'All the Right Moves,' which stars Tom Cruise. Anytime I am in the downtown area, I always try to get a picture with this statue. I always tell people that he is the best listener in the whole city.

It's like going back in time without building the machine. It is awesome that Johnstown still has such a place. But what is extra cool is that Johnstown is home to the OLDEST RECORD SHOP IN AMERICA! Yes, you read that right. I know, you have your doubts about that. I did too. But me being me I asked the owner inside if this was indeed true and he said yes. They have been open and in constant operations for 88 years. YIKES! I asked my Mom about this and she told me she used to frequent the store when in Johnstown and where she got a majority of her records that she still has to this day. Let me address a few things here. The size of it has been downsized. There is no longer five floors to browse through, it is all on one floor now. I assume that is because the owner is getting up there in age so by keeping it on one floor makes it easier for him to help you out. I also assume this will cut down on people attempting to sneak out with an item. Another thing to address, this isn't just records. All formats are in house. So break out that boombox, they got you some cassettes to browse. Dust off that '78 Maverick, they got you some 8-tracks. Just bought yourself a turntable for nostalgia or because of hipster, tons of vinyl in here for purchase. There are even CDs if you held onto your Walkman. It is best to just browse when you are visiting. Yes, you may have something in mind when it comes to what you want, but by browsing you will stumble upon something new. I did see in other reviews that people were complaining about the pricing. Yes it seems steep, but let's think about this. Not many vinyls are made currently, it's starting to get up there, but not how it use to be. So you are paying a price for something that is probably a bit more time consuming to produce than a file that most of us are accustom to today. Yeah, you will be paying a price for something well made. If you find yourself in Johnstown, take the time to find this store. It is worth the trip down memory lane.
