During our Thanksgiving trip to Arcata, we ducked in here to look for some old vinyl. Considering…read morethe eclectic nature of this community, I was not all that surprised to find a pretty awesome little music store. Indeed, the personality of this business matches that of the greater community; that quixotic mix of coming to terms with your own minor quirks and foibles, along with the ability to laugh at yourself. Oh, and I love of just about every kind of music you could imagine. The store had all sorts of records, although these are not 1980s Woolworths prices. I think we spent about 25 bucks for an old GNR album, and found a cool little Grateful Dead piece of art. The key is behind the counter was much cooler than me, but just as kind... I like that when I go in the store. It makes me want to buy things. Other retailers in the Square should take note. All that to say, Arcata is a town with a flavor all its on, and this music store fits right in. I will be sure to stop in the next time I'm passing through to see what other treasures I can find in the stacks.

Yesterday, 6/18/24, my daughter and I were wandering around old town Eureka & we stumbled upon this…read moreamazing shop. This is a place you could easily spend hours in discovering treasures. The selection is truly impressive, from literal Victorian clothing, to 1970's disco jumpsuits. My daughter found a gorgeous dress with a black tulle skirt and red satin rhinestone embellished sash for only ten bucks! But the real star of the show was the girl who worked there & I wish I'd gotten her name. She had short dark hair & was the sweetest, most wonderful young woman. She couldn't have known how much her kindness mattered, but it did. We have just moved here & my daughter is having a tough time, worrying about whether or not she'll fit in or be happy here. This salesperson was precisely the kind of person my daughter admires and we talked briefly about anime and video games and...maybe it didn't seem like much to her, but it meant a lot to us. We will certainly be back. Often.

The store is in the back of a bar, which is a cool concept, and has potential if the small stock of records were of higher caliber.The 3rd time I came through was months later, and most of the same stock was there with the addition of a couple more requisite and easy to find titles. After fading enthusiasm and another hour of my time spent, I realized that there were boxes on the floor which I missed the first time around. Out of a renewed hope of finding something to make it worth my time and effort I resorted to hands and knees diggin, but was quickly reprimanded and curtly told "those boxes arnt for sale" by the intimidating bartender who looks like an extra out of the movie Braveheart. After an hour of my presence in the shop, this Viking finally took some time to make a not-so friendly appearance.The fellow at the counter who I ended up talking with was very nice, and for that reason, I will be giving it an extra star making it a rating of 1.

A Timeless Detour into Treasure and Nostalgia-…read more I hadn't planned on stopping. I had a list, a schedule, a mental map of where I needed to be and when. But sometimes, life has a way of nudging you toward the unexpected, and that's how I found myself standing outside an old-town antique shop, its window display cluttered with relics from a hundred different stories. The bell jingled as I pushed the door open, and instantly, the air shifted. It smelled like history--aged paper, polished wood, and a whisper of something familiar, something comforting. Shelves bowed under the weight of forgotten treasures: old vinyl records, glass bottles that had once held someone's favorite drink, and pocket watches long overdue for winding. I wandered. No rush, no pressure. Just the quiet joy of discovery. And then--there it was. A ridiculous, fantastic, utterly perfect cheetah (or maybe leopard?) print watch. It caught my eye like an old friend waving from across the street. Something about it--bold, nostalgic, and completely unnecessary--made it impossible to ignore. Two bucks. A steal. Done. And just when I thought my little side quest couldn't get any better, I spotted it. An unopened, untouched Roy Rogers radio record player, still waiting for someone to press play for the very first time. It was a piece of history, a portal to a simpler time, and I knew I couldn't leave without it. It was one of those moments that sneaks up on you--a completely unplanned detour that somehow becomes a core memory. The kind of experience that makes you want to come back, not just for the things, but for the feeling. Next time, I'm bringing my family. They need to see this place, to feel the wonder of it, to lose themselves in the charm of forgotten treasures and stories waiting to be rediscovered. So, here's my encouragement to you: let yourself wander. Interrupt your schedule. Step inside that odd little shop you always pass by. You might just find a ridiculous watch, a piece of history, or even a part of yourself you didn't know was waiting to be found. -A Content and Charmed Man
