Records are becoming increasingly popular among young adults so it's no surprise that larger retail stores such as Urban Outfitters and Target want to cater to the Gen Z/Millennial generations. The downside to shopping at these larger stores is that it can often be difficult to find obscure or old favorites. Additionally, who doesn't love the feeling of flipping through massive stacks of records? I know I do. Here are a few local record stores around Indianapolis that you will love:

1. LUNA Music

If you live in Indianapolis you have surely seen LUNA Music's iconic logo either on someone's laptop in a coffee shop or on the window of a car passing by. Located on the corner of 52 St. and College Ave., you can't miss it. LUNA Music's collection is neatly sorted by genres: alternative, electronic, indie, hip-hop, and many more. It's truly difficult to not find what you're looking for here.

LUNA Music is located at 5202 N. College Ave.

2. Indy CD and Vinyl

Located in the heart of Broad Ripple, Indy CD and Vinyl DOES NOT disappoint. Indy CD and Vinyl has quite the expansive collection of records to choose from. You can find just about any record your heart desires either used or new. The store also has a great variety of more rare pieces of vinyl. Looking for those Sub Pop "Loser Edition" vinyl? Indy CD and Vinyl has you covered.

Indy CD and Vinyl is located at 806 Broad Ripple Ave.

3. Square Cat Vinyl


Square Cat Vinyl might just be your new favorite record store if you're 21 or older. Square Cat Vinyl is equal parts a record store, small concert venue, and a bar. Yes, you heard that correctly. You can sip on wine (or beer) while perusing the aisles looking for your new favorite vinyl. If you aren't 21, have no fear because Square Cat also serves coffee and tea.

Square Cat Vinyl is located in Fountain Square at 1054 Virginia Ave.

4. Karma Records

Karma Records has been a staple in the Indianapolis community since 1970. With past in-store performances by Twenty-One Pilots and Vance Joy, Karma Records has proven that they are here to stay. There are three locations around Indianapolis overall and all three are worth checking out.

Karma Records has three locations: Karma Northwest - 3532 W. 86th St.; Karma West - 3802 N. High School Rd.; Karma East - 21 N. Post Rd.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
