Wow. This place is insane, highly recommend if you want to go somewhere strange as hell and have a…read morefunny story. Pulling up to the place feels wrong. It is as if the parking lot is supposed to be empty, thats just how it should be. Coming to the door it's dark, the big display windows are nearly empty with what looks like trash, and you just get this sense which will be an overarching theme in this store. That feeling is emptiness. The windows are dark and when you open that door there is a clear isle going straight to the back of the store. On either side are the "items" in which you can peruse. The smell is what you sense first while your eyes are still adjusting to the dim light, it's something like a rotting sweat ridden couch or a nice spoiled chili. At the back we spotted what I think is the owner, and old man white a white beard hunched over some album. "You here to buy somethin' or just lookin' we reply we were just browsing. He goes back to reading and we feel increasingly uncomfortable. Behind the half-wall directly after entering is a hidden stacks of trash. A literal pile of trash on a couch. Here are flies coming out from it occasionally. We walk further in and the stores rotting carpets smells grow in intensity and there is about 15-20 total records on the wall. Some have water damage some are pristine. But the smell was getting too much for my friends and I. As we leave the store in quite a hurry I notice two large Tupperware RIGHT BY THE FRONT DOOR filled with some putrid liquid full of dead fruit flys and other insects. Walking into the parking lot I was more than happy that I went into that strange hole of a building and recommend anyone go and meet that store owner. They are open every day 11-6pm as clearly stated in the hand written note on the front door. I'm curious about how he supports himself and remains open every single day. Maybe this mysterious man came into a ridiculous amount of money and lives in an illusion that he runs some successful store. Either way it's a place that exists and I gotta give it that. Cheers

Very strange place. Looked closed but there were handwritten signs all over the door saying they…read morewere open. Inside it was very dark, smelled overwhelming musty and of dirty shoes. There were papers, boxes and instruments all over place. Things are marked waaaay up and they don't take returns. Avoid! Go to Advanced Music instead, much more professional, fairly priced!
