Block Street Records — Attraction in Fayetteville

More emphasis should be put on space for dancing, particularly for dancing. A Weekly or bi-weekly street dance would be a perfect remedy for this shortcoming however. It'd be a nice destination spot if there was a corner for specialty coffees and fruity inspired energy drinks. Also, musicians should be allowed to perform. Store management wouldn't have to pay performers by instead allowing the artist to collect a free will donation. They could open their saxophone case or whatever instrument they play and people could drop in a five dollar or even a one dollar tip/contribution/appreciation fee. The musician could call it a "fee" but the management could just tell the customers they don't have to pay if they don't want to. It's a win-win you see. Both the management gets a musician to perform and the band performer gets paid to do his art. I hope everybody goes to Block Street Records, it IS...

I could not recommend this place more (Fayetteville store). I stopped by to give up my vinyl record collection and the owner came back in for us, even though he was needing to go to their other store.

I told my partner I’m okay I just need to stim because of the music. They both thought I was talking to them and they smiled and said something like “you’re okay!” (I didn’t see/hear them in the moment, but my partner did), and hearing that later on made my whole day! Thank you for being so kind and...

I walked in off the street skeptical at first. I'm very judgemental when it comes to going to a record store. Yeah, I'm that guy and I wish I wasn't but I am. At first I just saw bins of new records and figured they didn't carry much used. After digging in further the used was mixed in with the new albums.

They have a very large selection of Alt, rock, classic and even a decent sized jazz and punk section. The heavy metal selection was small but Fayetteville seems to be more of a jam band town so I wasn't too surprised or disappointed.

I ended up buying a Sabbath record and for its age it was in incredible shape. The cashier was friendly and was happy to have a small chat before I left. If I'm ever in the area I will make sure to...
