    I was in LA last month and found this AMAZING place:

    If you're ever there, I highly recommend checking it out. If you like collecting old tapes, this place is a gold mine.

    San Diego has a few.

    Lous Records is the best bet, huge selection. http://www.lousrecords.com/main/index.php

    M-Theory is very good too, smaller selection though. http://www.mtheorymusic.com/
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    Chicago has tons of record stores.

    Reckless Records (3 locations-Loop, boystown, wicker park)
    Dave's Records (Lincoln Park)
    Record Breakers (South Loop)
    Permanent Records (Ukranian Village)
    Laurie's Planet of Sound (Lincoln Square)


    These are the better ones (neighborhoods in parenthesis).

    Checked out Dave's Record Store...awesome store.

    Moved from the DC Metro area to here in S. Florida. Very close to the University of Maryland in College Park is one of the best record stores called CD Depot on Rhode Island Ave. Two years ago they bought out a couple Vynil records stores and now have a vast collection along with their massive sellection of CD's both new and used. Mostly soul and R&B and some rock on vynil.
    Also they has a huge collection of Pearl Jam live concerts, it seemed like EVERY concert they ever played, I lost track after 500+). I used to spend hours in that place, down here in the Plam Beaches I haven't found any, the few i saw a couple years ago are ALL out of business now.
