There is tons of love to go around for Jerry's, and I think that's fair. Still, I think it may be a bit much. When I was in the store this week, a kid was telling Jerry that he'd seen the store mentioned in Rolling Stone, and Jerry said something like "Yeah... we're always somewhere in the top 10." I don't really know what to make of that. Really, I'm not sure Rolling Stone knows anything about anything at this point. Maybe that was Jerry's point. In any case, Jerry's is pretty cool. He's got tons of records, and his prices are pretty good. This is one of many places I'd like to be able to visit on a weekly basis. It has a classic record store feel (something along the lines of Area 51 ... anything could be in there, and you might never get out).
Is it one of the best 10 record stores in the country? God knows. It's safely the best in Pittsburgh, but I'd say almost every major city has at least one shop that would give Jerry a run for his money.
