There are movies from every imaginable era and genre, and the selection of VHS, DVD, and Blu Rays is outstanding. For 2.50 you can keep the movies for three days, which is a great value and really helped make our vacation even more special. Check out this local gem!

This place is a treasure. I have loved coming here for more than 30 years! Such nostalgia.read more

Bach & Rock was a shop we just stumbled across while we were out and about in Astoria. It was a…read morepart of downtown we haven't explored too thoroughly prior which is the explanation I am going with. This place is loaded with musical instruments, they sell CD's and other physical forms of music that have long stopped seeing new prints in a broad way. For movies they have DVD's, VHS and probably any other form of physical media I am not mentioning for movies. On top of that this place is kind of an incense heaven. The selection is huge and there were at least five different spots I found in the store where they had incense sticks. I bought quite a bit and was pleased with finding so many scents I don't normally come across. The atmosphere is quirky to say the least. Not only is their windblowing instruments everywhere, it's loaded with plants and other decor that definitely gives this place a unique signature. And of course the fact that a real parrot was here only enhanced that. And of course we had to swing by and say "hi" to the bird.

At the time of writing, there are no 3 star reviews and I was tempted to give one but I'm giving a…read more4 star review. First off, I'm the only person, apparently, to notice all the wind instruments in this place, mainly brass instruments. I don't think I've read another review that even mentions the wind instruments. HELLO! The place is packed with them...every shape size and sort. Lots of trumpets, alto/tenor horns (really cool), piccolo trumpets, trombones, valve trombones, tubas, at least one bassoon, and much more. I give it five stars for the instruments. Absolutely dazzling to look at. I asked the "guy" where they source them from and he shot back "all over the world." I plan to go back and buy a trumpet. Great incense section. And yes, the records, cds and tapes. Very impressive. I actually did not see a cat, dog or bird. And I lost part of my smell-o-factory from covid so I didn't smell any pet smells. So why the 4 star review and not a 5 star review? Well, it's an odd place and it is somewhat restricted. You can't browse the wind instruments really because they're in a closed off area. (Did I mention the brass instruments? They're amazing absolutely beautiful). It's an odd place, and maybe not the most welcoming, but to me I love the oddity. You'd be hard pressed to find any store any where like this one.

What an interesting find!…read more First off I love finding record stores to rummage through when I'm traveling but this place goes above and beyond that. Truly, I have never seen such a wide collection of DVDs, cassettes, CDs, and vinyl. Another alarming thing is how many of these items, such as the cassettes, are in the original wrapper! It was like a museum to the past, and I mean that in the best ways possible. It reminded me of the 90s being at the local record store combing the aisles for something that peaked my interest. This place is decorated with lots of plants, musical instruments and cats. Yes, cats. Apparently proceeds of this place help our furry friends and the cats often end up here as a second-chance shelter, so how do you not love that? The guy working there wasn't the friendliest at first, but once I started asking questions and buying things, he lightened up. I'm not sure if he thought I was just wasting his time at first or not. I'm sure a lot of people come here just to look. This place is a gold mine for anyone who loves music.

We spent a little over an hour exploring all the different sections. It's a huge store. At front you can see new releases, foreign films, and award movies. Further in there is a whole kids section filled with nostalgic movies. They had a tv show section, films divided by actor/actress starring in them, along with genres like drama, comedy, horror, and more. I love the amount of memorabilia in the space! It was such an inspirational spot to go too. There are so many movies I want to watch now. Everything felt reasonably priced. I also loved the way the store was organized. While we didn't interact with anyone who worked there, overhearing their convos, they seemed so passionate about movie. If I needed anything, I'm sure they would've been super kind and helpful. I loved Movie Madness. This was one of my favorite stops in Portland.

Cut to Mother's Day weekend 2026, where we made it a priority to explore downtown during the day, and I finally got to shop at Lucy's Books! The bookshop is bright, airy, and welcoming. What I love about this shop is that it is so open, but not crowded. While there is an opportunity to add more shelving and books, I appreciate that it's not packed. The selection is plentiful and feels intentional. There's something magical about wandering into a cozy local bookshop with no other intention than letting a book find you. And, a couple of titles did find me on the featured shelves! I always enjoy seeing bookseller recommendations. I chose Lost Coast Literary by Ellie Alexander (just finished and loved), and At the Coffee Shop of Curiosities by Heather Webber. I look forward to returning again and again to see what other books need a new home. :o)
