Located along Franklin Avenue's block-long stretch of cool (Bourgeois Pig coffeehouse and Birds cafe are neighbors), this laidback shop is a pack-rat paradise of of used books and records.

Editor's Tips
- Parking:
- Although tempting, parking at the Mayfair Market could get you towed. To be safe, look for spots on the side streets or down Franklin Avenue.
- The Extras:
- The CDs and vinyl cater to all tastes, from classical to punk and beyond.

But I found it at Counterpoint.
'Nuff said!
