I've lived in this area for quite some time but I am new to my current neighborhood and I was very…read morepleased to find out that there was a sweet record store just blocks away from my house. I never even knew this existed. I love the atmosphere created in a gray record store. This was no exception, and it was fantastic to see music history saved and presented in the way that hollow bone organizes their collection. My wife and I were able to score a couple albums and I'm excited to go back periodically and continue to add to my record collection. This is the closest final store to my house and I look forward to supporting their business for a quite a long time.

I've come to know this as my only local record shop. I…read moresuppose, I looked the other way with their judgement because its a dying thing locally, but that was "whatever" because they are local, had a decent selection, okay price on used items, and would help and find things they didn't have in store; but the last time I came they seemed annoyed at my album choice, used items had considerably increased and I was deemed unworthy for not knowing their promo day . When I went to pick up a order I was bothering them, trying to give them money, and they went against their written policy about loyaltly cards, treating me as though I couldn't read and my money wasn't hard earned. Seems to I need to travel further for my albums or just buy online...

Great selection, great staff. A must visit if you're in the Akron area. Lots of vinyl but CDs too!read more

It's an actual house they converted into a store. So many rooms themed. Retro video games. Retro dvd and vhs tapes. They have a big sports themed room w tons of old school Browns and Indians items.

I love going thrifting because you never know what you may find, it's a magical adventure every…read moretime you go thrifting. I have now lived in Ohio for about five months now and so far I have not been impressed by the thrift stores they have to offer. One day I took my daughter to this store called The Retro Attic, she was spending some time with her friend. They wanted to do some shopping. They spend about an hour or so at the Retro Attic and that's when I came to pick them up, but before we left I had to look around the Retro Attic. The Retro Attic is a huge thrift store that offer everything from comics, cds, records, retro toys, cloths, sports memorabilia, videos games, and pretty much everything else retro. The store has two levels and every room is dedicated to a different thing. My favorite room was the room dedicated to the Horror Genre, the room had a huge collection of horror stuff like VHS tapes, Horror Toys, Horror T-Shirts, and many more Horror related items. The Retro Attic also has very reasonable prices. If you ever find yourself driving through Akron Ohio area I highly recommend stopping by the Retro Attic, a place where you can buy a part of your childhood.

Good prices. Lots of books (did I already say that?). Per the usual, I waddled out with arms bursting with my haul. I got a mix of Clearance fiction and some new non fiction. They have cute gift items as well, and the people are friendly. I did sell back a stack on a previous trip, and was not impressed with the buy back prices, but that's pretty much normal for consignment, and it did (temporarily) reduce the book burden in my house, which was the goal. Book burden was replaced during subsequent visit and has been returned to stasis.
