Cheapo Records on Nicollet Avenue, Minneapolis – 2024

Cheapo Records on Nicollet Ave August 2024
Cheapo Records on Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis continues its long tradition as a hub for local music lovers and collectors in 2024. The store, known for its walls lined with vinyl, CDs, and vintage posters, is one of the last surviving independent record shops in the city. On a sunny afternoon, people walk past the shop’s red awnings while others wait at the nearby bus stop, reflecting the rhythm of everyday life along Nicollet—a street known for its mix of long-time businesses and evolving urban culture.
