A new vinyl record store has opened at 413 S. Tillotson Avenue.

Electric Crayon Records opened for the first time on Saturday March 11, 2023. Their grand opening was well attended as local vinyl lovers headed over to check out the offerings at the new shop.

You may be surprised to know vinyl records outsold CD’s last year. The format is still immensely popular with music lovers of all ages. Besides the feeling of nostalgia one gets playing records, there is a large group of people that feel vinyl records sound better. And warmer in tone.

Electric Crayon Records is located across from Clancy’s Carwash in a strip mall formerly known as the Vantassel building. The entire building has recently been remodeled and is now called “The Four One Three” according to a local realtor.
