10 Best Places for Shopping in Charlotte

"Even in the age of Spotify, Plaza Midwood’s Lunchbox Records is the place to go when you need to freshen up your collection—or even buy a player and some vinyls to get started. The bright blue building is impossible to miss as you’re driving down Central Avenue, as if it's beckoning you to pull over and get browsing. Inside, you'll find a massive selection of new and used records, CDs, DVDs, record players, cleaning supplies, buttons, and merch. This is a true, old-fashioned record store, with racks and racks of new and used titles to browse, plus the equipment necessary to get first-time owners started. There's even a small stage for in-store performances." - Lauren Levine
