You're right.  It's hardly the Mecca that is Springfield, VA.  Moveover neighbor, I'm coming home....

 They have stores all over SF. Another good place.

The Rasputin in Berkeley is far superior to the one in Downtown SF.  It is also better than the Amoeba in Berkeley.  But the Amoeba in The Haight I find to be the best in terms of both price and selection.
 
 All of which are better then anything I've seen in the greater DC/Baltimore area.

It's the Louvre of record stores; there's no way you could do the whole thing in day.

and the rasputin in san jose is basically just a chain store.  however, i'll still take my san jose streetlight records, if only because there are less hippies there - and i have such fond memories of just going there in high school because i had nothing else to do but go through the $3 and under bins.

I found Elbow's "A Cast of Thousands" there, the limited edition Double Disc CD/DVD for $5.  It had been out for about a week.  Streetlight Records holds a soft spot in my heart too.
