One thing I had not planned on was coming across a number of vinyl record shops on our little walk through the city of Fredrick. But I mean how could we possibly resist? This first one wasn’t just a record shop it had an adorable name the Rock and Roll Graveyard. We had passed it on our first night in Fredrick and seeing it was closed we made a mental note to come back the next day. We were not disappointed!
Essentially we thought it was just another one of those cute off-the-street basement vinyl shops but this place actually had two floors and a wide range of music genres to pick through. Everything from folk to punk. And I even found a copy of Alice’s Restaurant for five bucks which I had to buy considering I have been torturing my travel companions with this song extra hard since it’s November and so close to Thanksgiving. I think we all won with this one. And it came with this cool new sticker…
One of my travel companions also made out with a few items selected from the heavy metal bins.
This passage really drew me in! I love how it captures the excitement of unexpectedly stumbling upon something special during a casual walk. The description of the “Rock and Roll Graveyard” and the anticipation of returning the next day really made me feel like I was there, exploring the city alongside the author. And finding that perfect record, “Alice’s Restaurant,” for just five bucks? What a steal! The author’s enthusiasm is infectious, and I couldn’t help but share in their excitement.
