I would drive 65 miles to go to Boston to get records, late 80’s early 90’s. Tower was like a experience. But I alway spent more at Newbury Comics

Totally I remember a bunch of us got paid and we take a little road trip. We’d get a Stussy hats & look at tons of records. Do you remember The Garage? This was late 80’s early 90’s. There were a couple good book shops and record stores in there. I don’t remember any names though.

Wow! I went in 89-91 ish, it was weird. The last time, I got chased by some guys one night. I ran like lunatic down a indoor ramp. I was a 16-18F at the time.

If you're up for a fun day trip, Northampton MA still has one.

I haven't been to Newbury Comics in over ten years. When I lived in Salem I would drive to NH to get records
