The owner is not kind to women in his store. We saw a nice music box and wound it gently to see…read morewhat song it played and make sure it worked. I decided to leave it, and set it back on its shelf. The owner then came over and started scolding me like I was a child for playing the music box. I apologized, but he started yelling at me and continued to follow me and my family through the store and berate us. At one point my mother put her hand slightly up and told him "we get it, we understand," and that is when he started to get aggressive, started yelling even more loudly at us, and he put his hand aggressively in my face. I did not feel safe, and I told him "we are happy to leave" and my family and I left as he continued to become more agitated. It was actually very shocking, uncomfortable, and disappointing. I would not recommend any woman shop in this store, alone or with others, and that any men who respect women not shop here either.

I give this shop 100% for my BELLY PIERCING and it's collection of cool memorabilia's!

Francis (the one and only owner) was very genuine with his responses and obviously knowledgeable about navel piercings so I was SUPER comfortable. I appreciate the extra time he made to make sure I wasn't feeling nautious after and clearly went over aftercare instructions. Walked away with an aligned, beautiful piercing & funny man to conversate with!!

I wish I could clone this store and have it located in the western suburbs of Chicago where I live!…read moreThe Chicago area is rich with vinyl record stores dating back to the 1960's, but this store in Billings, Montana has already developed a rich tradition of service, selection and quality in the short amount of time since it opened in 2019. First, buying records remotely and on line has been perfected by this store with their daily flips of fresh restocks and used vinyl. Every day a new/used batch of vinyl hits the bins and is brought right to my computer screen. Sending a message through Facebook puts a hold on ANY LP that I want to purchase. Shipping and packaging is second to none, as everything arrives well packaged and ready to slap on the turntable. TJ, Colter, and the rest of the crew is friendly, helpful, and just great people to deal with. Their knowledge of music and their passion for vinyl is so apparent in everything they do. Pricing is, and has always been, very fair over the 4 years I have been purchasing vinyl from the store. The vinyl I receive has been cleaned and plays beautifully! I am picky as to the condition of the vinyl I play and buy, and the team at this store doesn't disappoint! I last reviewed this store in 2021 and was amazed back then with the selection and quality of vinyl they carry. I still consider this store one of my top 5 stores that I frequent to purchase vinyl! I have yet to visit this store in person, but plan on doing it! I always try to shop independent stores like Cameron Records, and plan on continuing to do so because this store has it all. To my friends a Cameron Records, keep doing you! Your formula for success and passion for vinyl is absolutely CONTAGIOUS! -JVD, Naperville, IL 60565

This has a lot of vinyl as well, but realistically, over half of the store is devoted to being a head shop, which is the name of the game for a number of Midwest music stores these days. The guy running it is very cool and exactly the kind of guy you'd want running this, absolutely worth a visit, though it might take some driving as it is nowhere near the interstate, if you're in the area.

Sometimes it's a matter of available space and sometimes it's how the space is used. Only a very few I've visited can organize space to make it feel more department store than a thrift shop. GIA is a huge store, for what it is, with nearly everything you'd find in a department store. Clothes, of course, and shoes, sorted by size. Children's clothes and toys, Christmas decorations, books, CDs, vinyl, DVDs, kitchen utensils, lamps, appliances, furniture, and miscellaneous. They've done a good job using items donated to delineate the areas and although there's only one separate room it feels like at least three. The prices are reasonable, and from time-to-time GIA will have a sale of sorts where you can fill your cart for a flat price. All the items I saw were in good condition, worn, but not trashy. Gratitude in Action uses the money from the store for their mission of support for recovery and sober living and giving people in recovery a chance to be independent.

The large well-worn wooden doors in the sandstone brick is enticing but might be, for some, sketchy. There's a large sign on the door but no other markings. When I walked in, I was expecting a small space, but to my surprise, the building is far larger than it appears -- like a Tardis, I suppose. Things are sorted -- kind of: the kitchen things are in one spot, the glassware dining and living room accoutrements in another, and then a middle room with old clothing, spurs, saddles, chaps, and the back room with toys, books, vinyl, pictures, tools, knives, and other general things. The owner, a spry older man, tells everyone to come in and browse. If he's not helping a customer, or haggling over pricing, he's quietly sitting in the front reading. There's no air conditioning or water as he explains why he's not open in the winter. It's an old building that in the heat of summer stays cool inside. Owing to his health issues this might be his last year and he'll close when it gets too cold outside. But then again, maybe he won't. He hasn't decided. But for now, make him an offer on whatever you find and he'll work with it. Many of things he has accumulated he found from various road trips in the Dakotas, Wyoming, Nebraska and points west. When he mentioned his age and how long he's had this shop, I suddenly felt as though I have accomplished nothing at a much younger age. What a life he's had. Two visits to this shop already -- not because I need or want anything, but because I enjoy the adventure of the search and the stories. With that said, I did find a couple original craftsman screwdrivers to replace some I lost. I have to work on my haggling skills, though.
