Thrift Shops along 17th

The thrift shops along 17th Street does provide real bargains and nice pictures of building facades here in the Big Apple.

Olwen, Cecile and I went to around four thrift shops in this street. I had buzzed Patrick earlier saying we were in this neighborhood looking for bargains. And bargains, we did find, specially, old vinyl records. Used CDs cost only US$1.00 but I didn’t recognize any artist or titles.

I picked up a few crystals. But Cecile said there was nothing different among these items, except for the very cheap cost.

Cecile found an old “Fantasia” vinyl record or LP (long playing album). LPs were the standards for music prior the advent of CDs and MP3 players. I saw a double LP for a Gershwin Performance. Cost only 20 cents per lp. I really should have bought a few more LP collection, mostly of classical music.
