We found an interesting little place yesterday called Mr. Zero's. They had memorabilia of all kinds, quite a few records, cds, video games, vhs, and assorted pop culture doodads.
They've only been at their current location for two months and have yet to get permanent record shelves installed, so browsing was a little involved, but their stock was diverse and worth digging through. The assortment of merchandise was very eclectic, from Simpsons action figures to Arcade machines, and in a completely non-jukebox related aside, I managed to buy a couple unopened packs of Marvel Comics trading cards from 1994, the same year I used to be really into Marvel trading cards.
The loot:
• Chad and Jeremy: Yesterday's Gone LP (although we apparently already owned this)
• The Beach Boys: All Summer Long LP
• Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell: Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing/If I Could Build My Whole World Around You 7"
• Joe Jackson: Steppin' Out/Chinatown 7" (but warped! always check the condition, kids)
• Bill Withers: Ain't No Sunshine/Lean on Me 7"
• E.T. The Extra Terrestrial VHS (with green plastic, just like I remembered)
• 1 pack Marvel Masterpieces '94 trading cards
• 1 pack '94 Flair Marvel Universe trading cards
Here's a video from inside Mr. Zero's:
Overall, a pretty fun store with a very eclectic stock. It works almost as a walk-in time capsule. We'll definitely keep checking this place out as they get more settled into their new location.
I remember when you collected those playing cards! You kept them in that white cardboard box didn't you? Golly, that feels like a bazillion years ago. Totally different life.
