Shopping Tips

  1. Selling records? Grimey’s says to expect longer waits when you bring items to sell or trade.
  2. Call ahead for a specific title; Grimey’s takes phone orders and stock checks.
  3. Combine with music: the Ernest Tubb shop sits among the honky-tonks; see the best honky-tonks on Broadway.
