Soothing jazz was playing, the antique rugs made everything feel welcoming. There are several rooms full of used books in various categories. Everything was labeled and easy to navigate. They also have tables of used records and shelves of movies. This is the kind of analog, community-based place that so needs to exist in today's world. I hope it's always here in Syracuse.

Not looking for anything in particular just want to add to my collection and find something that I once had on a record and now on cd.

I hadn't been to The Sound Garden yet, but since we were at the MOST in downtown Syracuse anyway,…read morewe decided to stroll over. Everyone had told me it was the best record store around. I can definitely agree, there are records from all kinds genres, even a Creepshow Soundtrack one that just came out! I had already pre-ordered it for my partner, though... What surprised me was that they also have CDs, and stickers and pins and patches and even board games! There was a large selection of vinyls that were on sale that day, which made it seem like a great deal could be had here. I'll have to check it out on Record Sale Day I think they call it.

Anytime I am in the Syracuse area I make an effort to visit The Sound Garden. The Sound Garden is…read morethe place to go for physical media; with their movie selection being the best in the area. It's very rare to be able to shop in person for boutique labels such as vinegar syndrome, arrow, criterion, cinematographe, and A24. The selection is unmatched and I end up spending a good amount of time and money on every visit because you can't get this experience anywhere else. While I love the movie selection in particular they also offer vinyl, books, games, apparel, and more! The staff is always kind and helpful. Love coming here and am happy to support a store that keeps physical media alive. Small parking lot out front and street parking available. I've never had any issues getting a spot

You need…read moreto scoot yourself to the back corner and come dig through the records available for purchase - I found some real gems that have been hard to find elsewhere that filled some gaps in my collection as well as some newer records from current artists. The sisters that own this spot have a podcast, as well, and discussion felt like record stores of decades long since gone. (Don't tell me that 1998 was 26 years ago, I don't want to hear it, and that's before most of the likely customer were even born.) Speak up about what you're finding and you'll have a great conversation about records that are in the store's bins, what's in your collection and what's in theirs. Pricing on these records is pretty reasonable given that it's a mix of new and used records. Stop in, you won't regret it.

The owner of Reimagine Records is one of those who understands your musichead quirks and has equally obscure music facts in his head...along with a very good array of music in his shoppe. If you like bands like Marillion or Gentle Giant or even the Shins, he knows about them and can speak intelligently about them. Places like Utica and area can support these businesses because the rent is much more reasonable, and gives these indy shoppes a chance. Fairly priced and a good vibe here...support these folks.

The staff treated them both wonderfully for the 90 minutes or so they were in the shop. It's alleged that Jeff W. is partial owner, so I know the staff knows their stuff, but having them treat my elderly mother and client so well demonstrates the level these guys play at. 100% better than Larger than Life. This shop is for the "true believers" and "Constant Readers," not just the "Big Bang Theory" popular kids. I even hear Jeff W. has lifted the ban on mentioning who Luke's father is, so as soon as he changes his stance on the Babadook I might consider returning! Thanks, Funky Town! Waylou, indeed.

The staff is helpful, but not intrusive, so you don't feel pressured to buy anything.

Prices are fair to on the high side, so ask if they can do better.
