What state would be great for some record hunting?


Recommended Posts

What state or area would be great for some record hunting? Let's say I want to visit some cool stuff and hit up a bunch of record stores in my 2 week holiday, what part of the USA would be a great to visit?

California has some damn cool spots. Especially the Bay Area and LA. You can't go wrong with all the Amoeba locations. There's various awesome smaller shops in the bay as well. Aquarius Records being one of my favorites. I really haven't been to many spots outside of California though.

I'm going to make an estimated guess based off my own unscientific empirical observations from living in a big city (Tokyo).

I've never been to NYC, but I would imagine that the dense population and influx of youth would result in a plethora of record shops. Let's call this an urban walking city, where vehicle transportation is not needed for daily life. What are other urban walking cities in the US? Boston? (I've never been there). Chicago? LA? San Francisco? Which state has two of these urban walking towns? California.
