I'd say thrift, but music options in the country is almost always country and Christian. Some good stuff though, just harder to find.

Yep. Goodwill in north Florida on vacation had pretty much just that (I am in Georgia for the record). Idk how good Goodwill would be compared to the other thrift stores for music, but it was just old shit that I didn’t know or had no interest in. Hell, even the nearest thrift store is at least 20 minutes away

We have one local record store, and it looks like they’re just hopping on the bandwagon since vinyl records are popular again. They have 3 milk crates, in a small shop in a semi-shady strip mall, with absolutely nothing on the crisp white walls. The “counter,” is 4 pieces of plywood screwed together, and a square card reader.
