Thought this might be a good resource since I travel frequently ... perhaps list three record stores in your area you recommend ... I'll start:

Houston:

Heights Vinyl
Sig's Lagoon
Cactus Music

    Long Ear Records & CDs in Couer D'Alene ID. Kind on a '70s throwback record/hippie/head shop, but one of the best selections I've seen.

    Charlotte is somewhat lonely when it comes to recommended LP shops. We do have one worthy of stopping by though.
