This record store is in the middle of our college area. It is very punk but if you want to support your local businesses, this is one way to do it.
The store has only a couple of employee's but they are very willing to help you find that old album or to order it for you. They mainly seem to deal in alternative and underground music but like I said they should be able to order what you want.
When I was getting married, I asked if the owner would be able to get a gift registry for me and I gave him a list of CD's that my husband would be interested in and all of his friends was able to buy him music instead of a towel or dish set. Very fun.
