    Well, there's books. And books with a side of books. Quite a few CDs and LPs hanging around too. Lost 2 hours in here without trying.

    The record selection isn't as diverse or well organized as The Great Escape IMHO but I still found a couple of gems (and crazy finds) there. Book selection is great though!

    They're known for books, but we like the selection of music, board games and movies they offer as well.

    Found movies that are hard to find elsewhere. Great deals mostly, but the newer items cost just about the same as any other store. Spend an entire afternoon here while visiting the food truck outside.

    A well-organized large, independent media store. Everything is organized by category with everything from books and music to audiotapes, video games, and other media.

    The books are filed in a rather creative manner so if you're looking for a specific title, check with the desk to see if it appears in their inventory. You still may not find it, however.
