I've never been in the place so I can't say anything other than the following…read more I called wanting to sell a collection of 45 RPM vinyl records. I was told the buyer is there Wed. / Sun. I'm old and can't see well so before going there, about 30 miles 1 way in traffic, I decided to send an email asking if they would be interested in buying. 4 days later no response. I guess they're not interested. no response, not even, we're not buying at this time, but thanks for contacting us. Nothing. My 515 records are worth over $4000.00 but I'll sell for pennies on the dollar, all or some. If a customer isn't worth a 2-minute email response, this isn't a business I would consider reliable, trustworthy, or even shopping at.

Inside, they have a nice space with a good amount of used and new records to sort through. Everything is organized neatly by genre and artist and prices are very fair. All of the staff here are friendly and welcoming as well. Definitely stop by if you are in the area and in the hunt for some records to buy!

It's a great hole in the wall business packed full of great records. I only got two but could have gotten a ton more. They have a huge selection of so many genres at great prices. This will definitely be a regular place for me. Shop Local!!! Oh yes, and the guy at the counter was extremely friendly.

There's a bunch of old dudes there talking to the owner about the good ol' days so that's entertaining at least.

Aldo's may look small, but trust me - there are GEMS to be found here! Stellar prices, too, which was a huge selling point for me. So many places are jumping on the bandwagon and overpricing their goods, so I loved seeing such fair prices. We'll be back again and again!

The In Groove -- A Place That Respects the Music…read more There are record stores, and then there are places that understand what this hobby is really about. The In Groove is the latter. From the moment you walk in, there's a sense of order and intention. The space is clean, organized, and easy to navigate--something that might seem simple on the surface, but in reality reflects a deeper respect for both the music and the people searching for it. You're not digging through chaos. You're exploring a collection that feels cared for. As you move through the bins, that feeling continues. The records aren't just stocked--they're curated. There's a quiet confidence in knowing that what you're flipping through has been chosen, not just accumulated. For someone who values condition, pressings, and the integrity of the music, that matters. It turns browsing into something more deliberate, more enjoyable, and ultimately more rewarding. Along one wall sits a collection of vintage audio gear--amplifiers, receivers, pieces of history that remind you this hobby doesn't end with the record itself. It's about the entire chain--the system, the room, the experience. Seeing those components in that setting connects everything together. Music isn't just something you own. It's something you build around. What stands out most is how easy it is to slow down here. There's no pressure, no rush--just the quiet rhythm of discovery. You find yourself taking your time, paying attention, and reconnecting with why you got into this in the first place. The In Groove isn't just a place to buy records. It's a place that respects the process of listening. And that makes all the difference

This is a bit of a different review, but I definitely plan on coming back here! I went here as a…read morejournalism student to interview the owner about how local record shops are doing lately. He was super nice and very knowledgeable about his stuff! I really enjoyed talking to him about his passion for selling and collecting records! It's a quaint little place and there's so much to look at. But everything is organized well with a wide variety of genres. The prices seemed pretty fair, with older/more worn records being as low as $10. It all depends on the artist, whether they're trending or not, etc. Maybe if you're claustrophobic this isn't the place for you, but I really liked it because it was smaller and not as overwhelming. You can just walk in, chill, and relax while browsing through records. I also appreciate the owner giving me this one record album I really liked as a thank you for the interview. That was really sweet, so thank you! My uncle lives just down the street from this place and he has been collecting records since he was a little kid. He's bought and traded stuff here before, but it's been awhile so we will both be back here soon.
