Since I was there, I decided to peruse the selections of vinyl records for sale. They had a lot of really cool inventory, and even though I am not really a collector of records, I do still have some from when I was younger, and it was cool to see certain selections that I currently own, and the price that they are selling for. They also had a nice selection of boomboxes and other retro electronics for sale. This place is really cool, and the owner was spinning tunes, and was really nice and very friendly . . . Cheers!

Greg the owner was awesome as I checked out him and I got to talking definitely a great dude with a great store with a great vibe. He was playing some groovy music that I was really vibing to as I looked through what the crates. Now the store is small but Greg most definitely maximizes the space he has, the selection and value of what he has in his store makes this a must stop if you enjoy vinyl.

The records here for the most part seem to be vintage. I didn't find a number of things I was looking for -- perhaps they were too new to be found here or a little obscure. But, I did notice that they have a very large collection of musicals and film soundtracks (the former of which I am a major fan). The rows and rows of what I think is their back stock not in the main center of the store are also a sight to behold. There are also a lot of hodgepodge bins at the front of the newest and "hottest" arrivals, as well as employee picks. I'm sure I'll be back here again. There must be 50K records in here. It is a bit overwhelming. Also, I will lastly say that the prices for the majority of items I saw while perusing are rather affordable and reasonable.

First of all, Yelp has the name and address listed incorrectly…read more The name is "D.J. Mike's Record Emporium," and it is located at 416 Washington Ave. in CARNEGIE, Zip: 15106 This place is a new Record Store / Pop Culture / Skill Games business. They have about three rooms on the second floor to peruse (See photos). They have really cool stuff for sale, and it is decorated like a museum, with lots of musical memorabilia (a bunch of it autographed). They even had a Monkees T-Shirt for sale from a show that I attended at Stage AE, exactly 12 years ago. Highly recommend this shop . . . BIG Cheers!!!!!

Prices are slightly higher compared to other records stores in Western PA and eastern Ohio. If I'm looking for a specific title, this store would not be my first choice but would be an option if having trouble finding a unique title. I would go back but it would not be a planned trip, etc. As of 2/25/26, You may find slightly better deals at Jerry's in Squirrel Hill, Preserving Vinyl in New Kensington, Geos in Youngstown OH, Music To My Ear off Babcock Blvd or Inner Groove in Monaca.

This is really just a fun shop that carries so much history, art and joy in the form of vinyl.

Half Price Books is a retail-store chain that has stores in many states and buys and sells new and…read moreused books, DVDs, records, CDs, puzzles, and more. This particular store is in the Village Square Mall. For many years, I purchased books through the business's website. Most recently, my husband and I shopped in this physical store. My husband felt interested in looking at books about software and gaming. He saw some books that he liked. However, he saw one book that he already owns and that he said was not worth the $75 price tag. Otherwise, I felt interested in the books about photography, film, pets, and the social sciences. This store has many other sections of books, including home repair, interior design, gardening, fashion, architecture, cooking, history, science, travel, language, crime, children's, etcetera. Some books are collectibles such as first editions and signed copies. This store also sells calendars, greeting cards, board games, and more. I will give a neutral rating for this physical store, because the business's website has a significantly larger selection of merchandise that is available for shipping.

I only wanted to see if they had some Thad Jones or bebop for a rainy day. But my mind is never made up. I dig around and find some cheap funk and soul; mostly Parliament, The Isley Brothers, The Staple Singers. I really like what they're playing and ask what it is. Bob Hocko and the Swamp Rats. I'll take that one, too. Thanks. Sometimes I go into Mind Cure with nothing to do and nothing on my mind. I'm in a slump. Do you have music? The answer is always yes. I walk out with things I've never heard of. Or things I've heard of. It doesn't matter. Mind Cure is my favorite place in Pittsburgh. I can get a coffee downstairs and buy a book or a comic upstairs. They have all of the music I want and the shelves are carefully curated and constantly updated. Punk, hardcore, metal, rock, funk, blues, jazz, folk, world, and even a weirdo/indoor kid section for when I'm feeling like a true lump of coal.

But I particularly love Rickert & Beagle Books; it's such an excellent addition to the South Hills area and it's the perfect place for a fantasy and sci-fi fan like myself. Also, I kind of have to love this place just because of the people behind it. Locals may remember that this store used to be Eljay's Books when it was under slightly different management. Now it's owned by Chris Rickert and fantasy author Peter S. Beagle - one of my favorite authors, in fact. With owners like that, this store has just naturally evolved into an eclectic and fun little place. Stop in and you'll be able to browse through selections of sci-fi, fantasy, horror, mystery, paranormal studies and history books. It seems like there's at least a book or two from every other genre as well, but that list is really where the focus lies - which I love, because as memory serves the average selection was more or less the exact reverse back when bookstores were more commonplace. Plus, here there's just as many smaller names as there are names of renowned authors sitting on the shelves. I actually came in once with a friend and the store took her own book on consignment, so I can promise that the chances of you finding an "off the beaten path" book here are pretty high. Thanks to this varied selection of books from so many genres and a big background of names, it's easy to get lost in here for hours just browsing titles. It doesn't hurt that you can also buy other trinkets here, such as Rickert's knitted wizard and bunny figures and jewelery made by a friend of the store. Add in the special displays featuring various autographed and rare books, as well as the special events that are hosted here (where you can purchase special edition products, enjoy some snacks and live music, and more) and you've got a cool little addition to the community that I really hope is able to stay in business for a long time to come.

Why there's only four stars: while my husband drove I was noodling around on their website trying…read moreto see if they have off-street parking (answer: no) and noticed that their hours come with an asterisk, not very prominently displayed: staffing is thin, largely volunteer, and thus unscheduled closures happen from time to time. No prob, I have a cell phone, so I called and asked if they were open today. A decidedly unharried gentleman said yes, but no book trades today. No problem. But on arrival we discovered that he took me a bit literally and did not answer the subtext and they were closing 3 hours early--in 20 min. It's not a very big store, so this was almost enough time, and likewise I am sure such things are less likely at other times of year (i.e., this was between Christmas and New Year's) but still you've got to take a bit off for customer service. Otherwise, the store is nicely laid out, has that old book smell I love, and has particularly charming shelf labels (see photo). It's great for the sci-fi my family loves and has a robust mystery section. As a fiction-not-otherwise specified reader for the most part I found that section worth browsing, if amusingly and inaccurately labelled "classics." It's one solution to the question as to what to call the non-genre when the genre (ghetto) takes over the store; certainly "literary fiction" is rude...and perhaps just as inaccurate as "classics" with respect to the work of Sophie Kinsella. On the other hand they are all used so perhaps the label classic intrinsically applies to the entire store.
