    Hello all! It seems we were so busy during our move that we forgot to mention one important thing…..we have reopened! If you haven’t already come by to see the new space, our new entrance can be found in the same building (54 E. Main St.) except that we are now down the driveway on the left-hand side.
    Here’s a picture of us now….

    …..and one in relation to our old entrance:

    While we may look a little different, we are back to business as usual. Our hours have remained the same, and we’re accepting trade-ins and doing special orders on music, books and movies!

    We hope to see you soon!

      Another Renovation Update

      Our original plans to re-open on February 1st were a bit ambitious. Barring any extreme turn in the already bad weather over the next few days, we plan on opening this Friday February 4th. See you this weekend!
