Vinyl Explosion is, without question, one of the best vinyl shops in the state of Florida. With…read morefamily spread from Jacksonville down to Tampa and Fort Lauderdale, I make a point of visiting as many record stores as possible, and I can say with confidence that Vinyl Explosion stands in a league of its own. Although I was familiar with the Market at Marion, I'd never taken the time to explore it. When I finally discovered Vinyl Explosion last year, I was both thrilled--and a bit irritated--that I hadn't visited sooner. Since that first trip, I've returned more than ten times, and without fail, I always walk out with something special. The owner, Kurt, is highly knowledgeable about music and greets every customer with genuine enthusiasm. He gives a helpful overview of the layout, points out new arrivals, and is always available to assist with whatever you need. The store is packed with an exceptional variety of vinyl, along with a large selection of CDs, cassettes, posters, and other music-related finds. Best of all, the pricing is refreshingly fair. While many shops have inflated their prices, Kurt maintains honest, reasonable pricing across the board. The vinyl ranges from very good to mint condition, with the covers in great shape. There's also an enormous $1 section where you can find some old gems. Vinyl Explosion has quickly become my favorite record store in Florida. Whether you're a casual collector, a seasoned audiophile, or simply someone who appreciates a friendly, well-organized shop filled with great music, this place is absolutely worth the trip.

this is once again a GIGANTIC store...whew! Get your walking cane or stroller and come on down !…read more It's 15,500 square feet of antiques with 136 individual vendors. This antique mall has been around a long long time and is very well established. I looked around and noticed that a lot of what I was seeing is knick knacks and I was looking more for furniture. There is SOME furniture to be had but really not much and the prices are very high. Yes...I like knick knacky things but I certainly wouldn't fill up my house with them.

I found many that I did not have in my collection, most importantly Piney Wood Belle / Leesburg, which I have not seen for sale anywhere. This is the one that is reproduced on the sign in the park in front of Leesburg City Hall. I spent the most I have ever spent for a label for that one. Anyway, aisles not too cramped, well lit, things are nicely displayed, not haphazard piles of junk. This is one of those former large store now divided into vendor booths, like the one by Russel Stover in Wildwood, or next to Savealot in Wilwood.

I have been itching to get some fiction to read since I recently got back into reading for fun. All…read morethe long and treacherous years of schooling ruined reading for me. Information regarding pricing or what was in stock was impossible to find so I had to go and check it out first hand. I was greeted upon immediately walking in. This place is way bigger than I thought it would be. I started browsing the book shelves that were in front and worked my way back towards the store. I only looked through the fiction section but noticed a huge selection of other genres like Sci Fi and Adult Romance. There was also a children's section in the back. Walking towards the front of the store, there were shelves with DVDs as well. In the middle of the store, there's a little lounge section with comfortable chairs and tables to read at. I was carrying several books so I decided to grab a shopping basket. They have the cool ones that have wheels and suitcase like handles. I finally made my way to the register and chatted with the employee. She asked if I found everything i was looking for, to which I did not. She offered to look up titles I wanted and even though they did not have any in the store, she offered to put my information in the system if those books do show up. I purchased 6 books and paid almost $20. Not horrible but I thought for sure it would be cheaper. They have a buy back program, where you receive store credits but I forgot to inquire about the details. Of course I will be back!
