I loved Alwik's & Vogel's! Orbit Music in Mishawaka too.

My grandmother and I used to ride the bus to Broad St. Elizabeth in the 80s when the stores were still open. I think it was Vogel's that had the top 40 singles for that week on display on the wall.

By the 80s, those stores specialized in rap and dance 12" records.

Lots of other decent record stores in the area back then: Sound-A-Rama in Rahway, Scotti's in Summit (still going strong), Music Staff in Westfield, and I can probably name a few more.

Send me a email if you want...family is from Elizabeth and I am there now as I type this.
