Shelter from the storm - Sep 30, 2010
A wonderland by day - enormous collection of quirky and vintage vinyl and classic CDs. Best of all, John Thominet, the proprietor has an encyclopedic knowledge of recordings, artists, labels, producers, the works, and enjoys practicing the lost are of conversation with his bevy of loyal regulars while making first time browsers feel warmly welcomed.
When you buy something really special, John's eyes light up, and he will tap your album to his heart -- and then he'll tell you a related story you've never before heard.
A very hands on, user-friendly, fun place, where time sits suspended, and civility rules.
