If I were to sing "My Favorite Things", the song made popular by Julie Andrews in the movie "Sound of Music", the song would have to have a lyric about going to record store. LOL. ☺ One of my favorite things that I really used to enjoy when I was growing up (from my childhood, age 10, into my adulthood when I was about 30-something) was

So in response to the question "Do record stores still exist?", the answer is "Yes!"
