11th & Penn

[bchris02]

Trolley Stop is much more of a "collector's" vinyls shop. Not many new releases but man-o-man if you are patient you can find just about anything recorded in there.

They have a huge 78RPM collection with stuff going back to the World War I era. It's quite impressive.

This is where Trolley Stop Record Shop will be opening a new location in addition to keeping their existing spot at 1807 N. Classen.

They will be taking the old Penn Theater space and have room for many more records plus occassionally host live music.

The owner said they have already started some work there but it will likely be a couple of months before opening.

BTW, this center is owned by Steve Mason and addition to all the great things he's done in the Plaza and 9th Street in Auto Alley, this project is really a great little gem, especially compared to when he bought it.

Trolley Stop Record Shop really turned out super cool.

They have a stage at the far end and have the occasional live performance. The last picture is the stairwell leading up to the old projection booth which will eventually be all 45's but for now has the owners pooches.

They told me the other location on Classen recently flooded and therefore they will be moving everything to this new spot.

Wow, this turned out great. Can't wait to go see live.

i checked it out a couple of weeks ago after visiting the incredible Factory Obscura exhibition at the Current Studio. I really think that space is perfect for the record store.

Hopefully during the move, they get as many racks as they need to in order to hold *all* their records, it was either a digger's nightmare or dream at the old location, depending on your mood.

I'm sure it will take them a while to get everything organized.

Space is much bigger and they can now put in lots more racks.

The 45's will eventually go upstairs in the old projection room.

Yep, it'll be nice when done. Talked to a guy that worked there (Matt, I think) at the Numero Group pop-up-truck back in Oct., said he was helping them organize and rack stuff better than it was, and that the projection room was going to be an old-school kind of listening booth, hope that still happens!
