I stopped by True Vine to do some browsing a few weeks ago when I was in the area. It's not large,…read morebut it had an interesting selection. However, I'm pretty headache-prone in businesses that smell heavily of cigarette smoke. I couldn't stay inside very long for that reason. I was able to find a few things I took home, but I probably wouldn't return to True Vine over some other record shops in the city. The shop does have a classic old store front/facade as well a some great decor. Worth stopping in if you collect vinyl, are checking out the city's record shops, and are in the area!

Bonus points: they'll even buy your old vinyl! Merch, fun vibes, and all the tunes if you're in Baltimore, you gotta roll check out this joint!

They also offer a wide variety of new and used pop, indie, hip hop, etc. Chances are they will have what you are looking for. When I was gifted a duplicate punk album for Christmas, I brought one copy here for a trade in and was given a very fair price. The prices here seem very competitive to online resources, corporate shops and other local record stores. I love that the store also hosts events around releases and Record Store Day, presents concerts and puts out exclusive records making it more than just a record shop. If you find yourself in Hampden, and are a music/record aficionado I recommend checking out Celebrated Summer Records.

I would absolutely recommend stopping in if you are searching for physical music media.

They had a large store with clearly labeled although crowded, aisles of comic, anime, cartoon, manga, clothing, and other items. This store is clearly a comic book lovers dream with a library of new and vintage ones that were for sale. They even had a basement area filled with comic books to purchase in bulk and video games to play. All in all, if you are looking for a specific comic book, manga merch, anime merch, Funko Pops and the like to add to your collection, this store is a must visit.

This shop is a 5 star rating in my book because I'm the type of record shopper who likes to flip…read morethrough stacks and discover awesome finds. You'll find rarities and original print classics here, so that's why you should come to El Suprimo. There are other shops in Fells Point where you can get new releases and reissues, which are great of course, but this is my preferred record shopping experience. Based on that, I love this place. The record shop is within short walking distance of the water taxi. It's close to the corner of Aliceanna and South Broadway. It's also across the street from Cafe Latte'da, where you can get a coffee to caffeine up before looking through records. The store is located in the lower level of the building, so you take a few steps down to enter. It's a small space, but it's packed with records and there are things to look at all over the place. Don't forget to look down because there are also crates on the floor to look through, too. Every time I've gone there, I've seen the same guy, who really knows his music and what's in the store. My boyfriend and he talked about pre-war Memphis blues music once while I found a super-cheaply priced copy of David Johansen's Live It Up in good condition (I was all excited). Anyway, this is a great shop. Only one thing for those with allergies - consider taking a hit of fexofenadine/pseudoephedrine a.k.a. Allegra-D before you go in (that's what I do) - it handles used records and can be a little dusty. Happy record shopping!

They always…read morehave some jewelry and other goodies for sales on the sidewalk and most of it looks like a jumbled, disorganized mess because, well, it is. It's the kind of place you definitely need time to sort through piece by piece to find some treasures. The owner can be a little much, as others have noted on here, but that's the kind of zany personality I suppose you can expect from a vintage shop owner. She seems to want to be helpful to her customers and points out all the deals and special items - although I could see how this might come across as overbearing. She helped me find a cameo necklace after I inquired, which I ultimately passed on, but I appreciated that she took the time to show it to me. The signage for some of the deals is a little unclear. I overheard a customer pick up rings from the "buy four get one free" section and then be told that those rings weren't part of the sale... definitely very confusing. After several minutes of sorting through, I managed to find a pendant, a necklace, and two rings that I absolutely adore. The total was just under $15 which was a steal considering, upon further inspection, one of the rings ended up being 14k gold. I'll return!

She even helped me find some pieces I was looking for. All I needed was to give her a description of what I was looking for and she was on it! Lately I've been a big fan of turquoise jewelry and blues. I found some pretty neat finds. Every minute spent was interesting between finding cool pieces and hearing her stories of her working in her shop throughout the years. Very sweet lady! Highly recommend
