    Growing up in Pittsburgh, I used to love coming to The Exchange. Now I was happy to see that they've expanded (to be honest I'm not sure which locations came first). The Exchange is the perfect place to find new/used video games, movies, cds, toys, consoles and more! Everything is organized in sections by type of game or appropriate genre of music or type of movie. It may seem overwhelming at first, but it's almost like a library of all things cool. The staff is super helpful. When you want something, you'll need to ask them for help as everything is behind glass and locked so you don't steal- good call on their part. Prices are reasonable for the most part. Some things like vintage games can be a little pricey but it makes sense. I bought about 6 or 7 old video games from NES Super NES and Sega for $38. I think I did well. They now have a rewards program that's free to sign up for so take advantage of that. I love this place whether I'm in Pittsburgh or Chicago. Definitely will make a trip or two every time I'm here.

    On my way to Reckless Records, I bumped into this store a few doors down from my destination. Walking in, it was apparent it was one of those buy/sell/trade all sorts of media types of places (like CeX). This is a good and bad thing. The good part of it is that most used cds are $6-7 and there's a decent selection of popular artists to choose from. They also have a very lengthy $1 cd section, though it may be a bit high up for some people to view well. I found a few good dollar discs including the Happy Mondays and the Features. They also have similar, affordable used sections of dvds, games, and even records. So there it is, a big throw all of what drives a lot of America's home entertainment today. Sorry, no board games! The bad thing is that it sorely lacks any character. The point of the store is to sell used stuff to those trying to get things a little cheaper. It can't be bothered with vibe or style ... that doesn't sell! I also found it to be a pity that it was a few doors down from Reckless, which is a fantastic store. Competition helps but hopefully people don't get lazy and settle for the Exchange over a well-informed, musically superior record store a few doors down. I'm hoping the future doesn't turn all the specialty stores into these types ... If you're looking for music, go to Reckless first and then the Exchange for overall value. However, if you're looking for dvds and video games this is a more convenient stop than the big chain stores or even online.

    A cute record store with a large selection of great albums and music merch. I came to trade in some…read morerecords and pick up a limited signed copy of BRAT they had. The trade in value was fair and I was happy with it. It's also really neat they were able to get limited signed pressings of Charli's new album, it was the only record store i saw around town who had them. I ended up leaving with BRAT and a copy of the Strokes "Is this it". The prices are pretty on par with other record stores too. Id definitely shop again here!

    While in Chicago this past Thursday, my husband and I were drawn into this outstanding record…read morestore. After my husband got a record player he became a fan of going to at least 1 record store when on road trips, even if the road trips are just day trips. I'm glad his enjoyment of vinyls helped us find Reckless Records because this store is great. We did buy a vinyl while at Reckless Records and I considered buying a t-shirt, but my husband was disappointed because he is a 3-4xl and they go up to a unisex 2xl. I know we tend to come to this part of town when we travel to Chicago so next time I will most likely give into my impulse to buy every tee-shirt to ever exist in the universe that has a cute design and is in a color I like. If you're looking for a good record store with a solid customer service reputation, large selection of items and a clean store, Reckless Records is definitely worth your time. I know next time we are in Chicago I'm going to request coming back here instead of checking out somewhere different. Or maybe as well as, who knows. I just want to come back.
