Record Bar

The selection here is not that great. I’ve been going here for the rare occasion i actually want to buy a cd. Be warned this place has all the rap/​hip-​hop or urban stuff that you’d like. If you’re looking for more selection or actual vinyl go elsewhere.

I really wanted this place to be cool. From the outside and the name, it looks promising. Perhaps, I thought, they might actually have records. Not that I have a turntable at the moment, but I like looking through vinyl, finding good things that have been passed over. Nope. This place has a combination of pop-​hip-​hop and R&B CDs, Rat Pack CD’s, soft-​core porn videos, crappy Hollywood DVDs from last year and gangster flicks. I felt very uncomfortable because it was small and there were sketchy characters hanging out at the counter. Because of the Godfather and Scarface posters in the store window, I wanted perhaps to purchase some mafia movies for TK that he doesn’t already own (The Departed just came out on DVD) but I didn’t want to stay long enough to find it.
