There were two major record stores in the little town where I lived, but I remember mostly my dad buying records in the record department of a big department store in Charlotte (these were the stores that had listening booths; oh, such memories!). He drove to Charlotte every Tuesday on business, and in the summer and on holidays when I was home, I went with him, so I often bought records (show albums, of course) in Charlotte, too. Only, by the time I had money and could buy my own music, I'd go to Record City which had a great cast album and soundtrack section.
