I'm out here for work and have a couple of hours to kill. Any record store worth visiting?

    When I was there, it surprisingly sucked.

    I've heard the same thing about the city.

    When my parents lived there in the mid-90s, they had about 2-3 vinyl stores and I remember going to one of them and they had doubles of the first Diamond D LP (which was promo only) and stupidly, I just bought one.

    Then I came back a year later. That other copy was STILL THERE.

    Copped. Flipped. Finis.

  • The Wax Museum could be worth your time, depending on who is pricing the records when you're there.

    Well the window has passed. Doesn't sound like I missed anything, I hope. Thanks all.

    The Wax Museum used to be pretty reliable for a few come-ups. They have gone down hill since changing locations.

  • I had some luck at an Antique Mall the few times I was up there. Sleepy Poet or some goofy name like that. But yeah wax museum is the most proper actual record store. But not really a great record town from my experiences.

    That was one short-ass window!

    Charlotte has a bad rep in NC... the biggest city in NC, but culturally very poor... people who live/have lived there have substantiated this.

    I periodically ask a major collector who spends a lot of time there if he's finding a lot of records while in Charlotte and he always tells me no, and that he doesn't know why he they aren't around...

  • gene buys all his records at manifest ....check that spot next time.....
    and visit price's fried chicken down the street cause its really good
