| - For being the avid record collector that I am; I am surprisingly pleased with this place.
At first, I did not like the way Hoodlums was organized, but I got over it quickly because I always seem to find something there that I want. It's got a surprisingly well stock amount of used records. I figure, I love to buy local, but new vinyl is always cheaper online. So, in store, I tend to buy used. Nevertheless, Hoodlums supplies some good used records within the selection of all genres. The selection might look small at first. However, there is more than meets the eye.
There are the trivial little knick-knacks adorning the walls, including posters, incense, and other typical things found in a record store, but I would like to think there is a little more character than that. And of course CDS are supplied as well, but this review is more directed towards record collectors.
The staff has been accommodating as well. I've never had to deal with some record collector snob who happens to undermine my knowledge, just because I ask a question.
The location is great too. It's right next to Changing Hands book store (which I have also written a favorable review about), Trader Joes, and Wildflower Bread Co (delicious!!!).
If you've never been to Hoodlums, I suggest going and taking a look. It'd be a great place to go with a fellow record collector or significant other and catch a healthy bite to eat or discover some great literature nearby!
