Has anyone visited Attic Records?
« on: November 25, 2009, 10:35:23 AM »
Has anyone been to Attic Records in Millvale?

I was out that direction the other day at P&G diner for breakfast and I saw a sign for their store.  I wanted to stop in but we were in a hurry after breakfast took longer than expected.  Didn't know if anybody's shopped for vinyl there, what their prices and selection were like, etc.

Looks like they've got a webpage too.

Anybody know anything about this place?

I was there once, they were playing music with a old Tandberg receiver and PSB bookshelf speakers.. Very nice.

Well that's why I asked.  That post implied that he was like 15 minutes from Millvale or something, which would put him near the area where I live potentially.

So I was wondering if he'd moved and not mentioned it or something.

Yup, he's still there.
Last time Bill was in town, he said it takes him ~1hr to get to the shop.

Yes, I'm Still In Steubenville. Without any real traffic issues, I'm at Tom's shop in 45 to 50 Minutes and 1 Hour If It's Rush Hour.

Matt(Paden501),

The reason you see me write or respond like that, is because I've been going to Pittsburgh since I was 6 years old, with my parents of course, so I am extremely familiar with all the different sections of town.

Believe it or not, living in Steubenville really allows me access the city of Pittsburgh from alot of different angles and in some or most respects, I have an easier time getting to and around then someone else who actually "lives in" the city. That may sound a little screwed up, but its true Matt.

Thanks For Asking Matt. I Hope To See You Soon.------BILL
