Wuxtry records in downtown Athens is a local favorite, has been around forever it seems, and offers an incredible array of vinyl from the oldest classic rock to the newest, hippest groups you?ve probably never encountered. The staff and service, if any is needed, is somewhat proud and pretentious, but generally, you know what you?re looking for when you enter the door. I?ve purchased new needles for my record player there and bought some great, nostalgic tunes for my dad on special occasions. There?s a small little cafe and second level seating attached, although it?s affiliated with the OK Coffee hut and not the music store, where it?s cool to sit, sip a latte, and review your purchase while watching the towny locals and parking meter cops cruise the streets. So if you?re a music junky who doesn?t mind the attitude of a local, hipster staff, definitely check out Wuxtry?you?re almost guaranteed to find whatever it is you?re hunting.
Pros: wonderful selection
Cons: pretentious staff
