I only checked out the records part of the store, but they also sell and buy Legos. They also have a minor section with CD’s and clothes (band T’s), but the focus is on records.
Vinyl selection is organized, and most of them are graded and priced accordingly. Just a note that I only picked up NM (Near Mint) records for older records, but grading seems a little too generous here as one of the records had many visible scratches when you hold it under the light and you can hear them when playing (for comparison, I don’t see NM grading as common in other record shops).

There is not an ounce of pretense - just a genuine desire to share information and passion for their business. I was especially impressed with the ethical business practices and the way my teens were included and consider and spoken to like humans. We are thrilled to finally get a chance to stop in and we cannot wait to come back! Records, instruments, a listening station, even rarities like reel to reel. Seriously, if you want to grab some vinyl and have been worried about not being cool enough, go to Ruby's. I feel like a...
