Waterloo Records

2/22/2006- Ok so here we are, Waterloo Records, this place has to be paid props for being a coo large independent music store. Yea, yea, I know, many people say they have "sold out" and their prices are "wayy too expensive", but I have to say, even those people are caught shopping there from time to time. I have bought many records from Waterloo, their staff is great, though do not hold a candle to the homely feel many of the other records stores listed here have. I guess that is expected since they are pretty much the size of any major record store. None the less, if you need help finding something the staff is more then happy to help out and if you frequent enough they might begin to remember you. If you are making the rounds, Waterloo is a must see and you would be foolish to avoid it!

Their LP selection is fairly large and has a good mix of new and used.

2/24/2006- So waterloo is the bomb! (don't know if people still say that, but I do), anyway, they were coo with me taking pictures, I tried to stay out of peoples way so as not to bother, the shops really does have a great feel to it.... well here are the pics...

Here we are at Waterloo!
Just a note, though I did not go in, there is waterloo video which, rents and sells DVD's, it is coo, but I wanted to keep the focus on music.

This is the "wall-o-DVDs"
Of course they have a shirt section.
Need headphones, I think they have some, tapes too!
All the local promo's, a little messy, but it is probably cause people seem to just let their hands fly all over the place.
I think these guys give out a couple chronicles a week!
If you are going to a concert, don't forget the ear plugs.
