Compendium of retail LP stores

I could not find a thread with any kind of comprehensive listing of used LP stores across the US. If this is a ridiculous idea I am sure someone will let me know. There are frequent postings such as "I live in the _____ area and want to know where to buy vinyl." or " I will be visiting _____ and want to shop for LPs", etc. Where do you live and do you have a favorite record store, new or used? I had fantastic luck yesterday at my favorite store and scored six for six on used records, all $6.00 and in great shape. I live in the St. Louis area and the store is "The Record Exchange". Anybody else want to share their local record store with all of us? If someone simply searched the postings, they could easily find the town and the store name. It could be updated constantly as time goes on. What do you think?

Check out the Dusty Groove in Chicago, located on Ashland Ave.
http://www.dustygroove.com. Also Check out Reckless Records with three locations in Chicago, http://www.reckless.com. Both usually have very good used selection and very well organized and cataloged. I have bought things from both places and had very good finds along the way.

The best I've found in Las Vegas Nevada, is Record City, 300 E Sahara Ave. They have nice a selection of collector and rare lp's. It is located close to the "Strip" in a "not so great neighborhood" and looks like a dump but it's well worth the time. There are a few others in town but just don't the inventory and quality product. The same owners have another store located a few blocks east with less inventory and a little better prices. they are not open Sundays.

Good luck.
