Someone was asking for Miami stores....Here you go!
Uncle Sam's Music (Miami Beach)
1141 Washington Ave.,
Miami Beach, FL 33179

Uncle Sam's is down to 1 location (which is the original flagship store in Miami Beach (South Beach) on tourist-y Washington Ave. -- Pompano Beach and Lauderhill -- R.I.P) As a CIMS store, they have a good selection of mostly everything, typical pricing for a indie store. Staff knows their stuff, but unfortunately this location lends itself to lots of DJ and electronic music, that wastes tons of space where the rock records should be. They were great on RSD.
SWEAT Records
5505 NE 2nd Ave.
Miami, FL 33137

Sweat is a nice little store, right next to the classic punk rock british pub Churchill's (the CBGB of the South). Nice atmosphere, so-so selection of new and used viinyl, over-priced. Staff isn't the most knowledgeable, but overall they're positive for a lackluster Miami music scene.
Yesterday and Today
9274 SW 40th St. (Bird Rd.)
Miami, Florida 33165

When you want to bulk up your pre-90s rock, jazz, blues and psych collection, go to Y&T at Fair prices. Tons of vinyl, some new pieces (mostly reissues of classic releases) - CD's also. This is what record stores used to be...and really should still be (like Blue Note Records was in North Miami Beach).
