In 1991, Main Street Music opened its doors. And, as other independent music stores have come and gone, Main Street Music has only gained popularity. Old and new, used and hot off the press, Main Street Music has it all. If you want to sell your CDs, talk to the guys behind the counter. Speaking of which, you won't find a nicer and more knowledgeable bunch of music geeks around. Looking for something vintage or hard to find? Let the staff know and they'll call you if one comes in! They even get artists to perform live in the store. Now that's cool.
