Just Dropped In: The Vinyl Store That'll Make You Put Your Records On

Tucked away in Fargo Village, Far Gosford Street, resides a hidden gem in a box that Pandora should've opened instead. Just Dropped In is a vinyl store with every single genre I can confidently list at the top of my head, and more. First opening its doors in October of 2018, the shop would be run by the owner, Alan, after working a corporate job. Patiently, he operated it for a couple of months to see the potential of the shop and if there was something to build on, and we all know how it is going as I am currently writing an article about one of my favourite spots in the whole city.

The name of the shop originated from "a great song" Alan says. More specifically: Just Dropped In  There are many versions of it such as rock and soul and the name of the song describes dropping the needle on a record very well. An intelligent name for a cosy, intimate vinyl store. He also checked several domain websites to see if someone had taken it and to his surprise, no one did. I guess great minds don't think alike, they think differently from everyone else's.
