    Love crossroads. There is always something good to be found here. Honestly you could spend an entire day here if you wanted to. Nice gentleman at the front with style. Support local record stores!

    Out front so you know this is the place.

    Wow, the best vinyl stash of used LP's in Portland area. I think it's a co-op of owners all selling vintage vinyl. Price's will very but if you look hard enough I'm sure you will find deals plus an arm full of records. I'd recommend blocking a few hours of your day for looking. But make sure you check the LP for quality if your a fanatic. Happy Shopping.

    I bought what is probably a crappy little record player because I spend more time at home now and I was harkening back to a time when I listened to whole albums nonstop without skipping tracks (I'm looking at you: What's the Story (Morning Glory)?) and I had a sweet little domestic vision of playing a record while I cook dinner and having it sit on a table in my dining room. So I was thrilled when I searched used record stores (um, the new Lana Del Rey is a pre-order for $45[!!!!] and I don't see myself commiting in such a monumental way) and found this one in my neighborhood. Armed with the knowledge from a few YouTube videos, I knew how to handle a record (gently and without touching the grooved portions), how to avoid common pitfalls (mismatched UPC from record and covers for reissues, checking the album cover spine for drop damage, & that the most common scratch place is right at the beginning of track 1 where people drop the needle on the vinyl) along with what can be fixed at home (dusty dirt smudges and smears) and what can't (deeper scuffs, scratches, warping). Also learned (surprisingly) a sealed record does not necessarily mean mint condition, it could be warped or damaged despite being unopened. Not an expert yet but confident enough to at least go in to the store. I practiced first at Goodwill but their selection must get picked over by resellers right quick because it was stuff that shouldn't even be for sale. Crossroads was my 3rd stop. My understanding is that this is like an antique mall where there are many sellers using the space. When I got my receipt, he said fifty sellers, I think. This was confusing at first because I saw "rock" then proceeded to keep seeing "rock" in every row. It looked like anything valuable (maybe over $30-50) was kept up front but the covers are placeholders in the stacks. As far as covid compliance, people kept their distance and wore masks. I had a nice Friday off from work flipping thru the bins and found a few things I think I could see myself listening to: Some french pianist doing the Beatles mashed up with classical pieces, and a Charlie Parker quartet/quintet greatest hits (can't go wrong there). I spent $12 on the two and was told the receipt doesn't matter so much as the sticker because it links to the specific seller. My record player is shipping so I don't have it yet but I anticipate coming here with some regularity. I also followed one of the sellers on Facebook, it's "hamspapershack". I'm never gonna be a major collector or drop a ton of money, but I can see myself growing a modest collection of used records that I listen to on sunny afternoons, rainy reading days, or probably most often, making dinner. I'm glad Crossroads is hanging in! A few housekeeping details: they take payment cards and have a small parking area of about 3 spaces. I also heard a tip in my YouTube research that some/most record stores will have a turntable for you to try a record yourself- not sure if this is Rona Protocol or like this all the time, but this one didn't have a customer turntable that I saw.

    Pricey, redundancy in collections, a bit disorganized and clerk wary of people of color shoplifting. Not worth the trek

    The owner is really nice. If you look hard enough you're able to find well conditioned records for a really good price.

    There's a lot of cross-over between sellers but once you find an area with a selection up your alley you'll easily come away with a few LPS.

    The selection of books was amazing! I had never been to a Powell's Books within all of my life…read moreliving in southern Washington. Due to an appointment in Oregon I got the pleasure to finally swing by and check one of them out... and WOW! I was in readers heaven. I felt like the pricing was a bit steep on some books but for the most part it's kind of worth it. The only weird vibe I had here was the staff. Yes, they were polite, but they were all so robotic. There was one lady who I swear asked me every four minutes without ever looking up at me "are you finding everything okay?" and even checking out the man at the counter hardly acknowledged me or spoke so much as the price my purchase was. Just a weird vibe to me, but then again, everyone has bad days.

They've got a curated selection of fiction, nonfiction, fantasy, kids books, and souvenirs/tchotchkes. These days I mostly borrow Kindle library books. If I'm getting a physical gift for someone, I'll come here, or if I want to see what their staff is recommending in any given category to figure out what to read next. There is free street parking in the neighborhood north or south of Hawthorne Blvd. Plenty of options to eat, drink, and thrift nearby, including the attached cafe Fresh Pot.
