We had other plans in the plaza on March 11th where The Exchange is located, but my husband saw…read morethem and our plans quickly changed. My hubby was in heaven looking around and told me I am officially in charge of making yelp use a 6 star system so I can give them 6 stars. They have wall to wall and several aisles stocked full of product. They even have a buy 2 items under $3 get the 3rd item under $3 free. They have loads of dvds/blurays, cds, some books/manga, old and new games and systems, and some awesome collectibles. The employees definitely were the cherry on top. He was telling us about the setup of the store, deals the have and about their trade in policies (which are the states policy and super intense to stop stolen items from being sold. They even do fingerprints). My husband is officially obsessed with this store and if he could live here he would. We had to go back to the hotel to grab a game to trade in and on the way back he said "I love this place. I know we aren't there but I'm going to talk like we are because my soul is there". I have no doubts we will be back. We ended up getting a few different things and we were pleased with everything.

The Exchange is located in a small strip mall and has a fair amount of parking. I primarily went in…read moreto check out their CD section, which was a pretty good selection. What was even better was their variety of vinyl, and I ended up purchasing two LPs and one CD. Prices for either medium were either reasonable for used or overpriced, not really in the middle. A lot of their collection, including the CDs, is behind glass, which makes it not as easy for a shopper to quickly check out the inventory before buying.

Updating my review of Luna Music and bumping it up from four stars to five. This is because a) Luna…read moredeserves all five stars; and b) it's been nine (!!) years since my last review. In my last review, I think I complained about being a tired mom with macaroni and cheese stains on my pants. Well, nine years later, I'm still a mom but fortunately less tired, the stains on my pants are from red wine and vegan tzatziki, and the kids I made macaroni and cheese for have grown up and are very interested in music. And they ask me to take them to Luna Music. I'm always happy to oblige. My oldest kid love Luna Music because he can find albums for the bands that he listens to. Bands and artists that are not on my radar at all (Blood Orange? Anyone, anyone? Bueller?), but he loves them, and it makes him happy to find them here in vinyl. Luna has a lot of new music on vinyl. This is the place to visit in Indianapolis if you're looking for any kind of new music. They are on top of it. In fact, I subscribe to their weekly newsletter just to keep abreast of the new music that drops every week. Luna Music keeps me young and able to relate to my children, who have astounding musical taste for their age. Luna skews toward records, but they also have a smaller selection of used CDs, as well as a collection of used cassette tapes that are smaller still. You can also find zines, local artwork, greeting cards, record players and other fun things. The people who work here are super friendly and not at all snobby. There are no Jack-Black-from-High-Fidelity people here!

Hot House Market is like a breath of fresh air in the Fashion Mall at Keystone. This cute little…read moreshop is where you can find real vintage clothing, vintage shoes, vinyl records, cassette tapes (seriously! Like, actual cassette tapes) and other unusual paraphernalia. I just happened upon this store when I was walking around aimlessly at the mall. It's located right by Saks Fifth Avenue, at the end of the mall, just chillin' innocuously, all by itself. My sister collects vinyl, so I pawed through their selection to try to find some sick rekkids for her. I did find quite a few, actually, and they were priced right (anywhere from $1 to $10). The selection runs the gamut from Supertramp to Leonard Cohen to Perry Como. There are records for everyone here! They also sell locally made candles and smudge sticks, for all your burning needs.

Indy CD and Vinyl is like the old-school record stores I used to visit in my teens and 20s, oh so…read moremany years ago when I would actually purchase CDs and tapes. Except now, everything old is new again, and this record store actually has more records than anything else. So if you are a record collector, this is your place. They have new and used records, as well as quite a lot of CDs, cassettes, used DVDs, comic books and some records players and headphones for sale. It was my oldest son's idea to visit, because he loves record stores, and is proving to have impeccable taste in music. (He gets it from his mom.) He loves rap and hip-hop the most, and was a little disappointed that there weren't more albums by his favorite artists. I told him that I think album collecting tends to skew more toward rock and pop listeners, and people who listen to rap and hip-hop listen more digitally. That's my theory, but in any case, you should know that the hip-hop section is small. But the rock and pop section is large. This record store is a decent size, and in fact, there's a sign outside that says that they will soon be expanding. My son thought that the store was huge, but bless his ignorant heart: He didn't grow up going to the country's greatest record store, Amoeba Records in Hollywood, like I did. This is no Amoeba, but there's no place like Amoeba, and for a record store in central Indiana, Indy CD and Vinyl is really great. Two neat things about Indy CD and Vinyl: They have video games and pinball machines that you can play at the back of the store (for a couple of quarters). They also have a listening station, where you can scan the barcode of an album and listen to it before you buy it. It wasn't working when we visited, but that's cool that they offer that. No one in my household actually owns a record player, CD player or cassette player, so our visit was merely to look around and imagine the things we would buy if we had analog media players. My son did get a Tyler The Creator poster, though, so he was happy.

I have fond memories of visiting the very unique children's section in this B&N tucked in the back of the store, browsing the once-popular CD and DVD section, and exploring the magazine shelves. I believe this is the largest B&N in the Indy area (don't quote me on that). If I've ever had trouble locating a book, the help desk workers are always available (and friendly) to help me find what I'm looking for. While I love my local library, there is something about browsing the best sellers in a bookstore that is a real treat.

We now check it out on a regular basis and always find some unique items. Prices are excellent, especially when compared to other vintage shops. The true treasure of the sho are the people that run it. They are so delightful and always make you feel welcome. Many times they have helped add to a collection by offering suggestions and remembering us when we came in. Though we don't always buy something we always learn something. Their knowledge and helpfulness is fantastic. I appreciate all the unique serving pieces and kitchen things available. My husband loves the record collection. Give this place a try... Parking can be utilized on either side of the building. You will have to look for it the first time but it is easy if you look for the grey building next to Liter House.

A new record store just opened in Indy! Take Care Records has vinyl, yes. But it also sells CDs,…read moreDVDs, VHS, books, comics and cassette tapes. It also buys these things, too, if you have any physical-media treasures lying around that you wanna make a buck from. The record shop is tidy and well curated. If I had a record player, I would have picked up a couple of gems. Alas, I do not! Why do I keep visiting record stores if I don't have a record player? Some would say I'm a glutton for punishment. But I like to think that I'm slowly manifesting a record player, and also, I just like to be around physical media, sometimes. It's nice to hold a thing that produces music in your hands, or look at the liner notes of a CD. Take Care Records also sells DVDs, like I mentioned. These, too, are well curated. I saw many obscure indie films, and a few concert DVDs, and films that I haven't watched in a while but would totally add to my collection. Although the joint isn't huge, there are a lot of gems everywhere you look, so this is definitely a place to check out if you're into collecting music, movies or other media. One thing to note about Take Care is that it is only open Thursday-Sunday! It's located in the same shopping center as Some Guys, and across the street from Taylor's Bakery. Lots of parking!
