There is a big difference between a nationwide generic chain and a mom and pop store.  Chains are shit.  Small shops will cater to very specific audiences, have used stuff, and carry vinyl (new and old).  You have some shops that have been around for 50 years and the owner has a complete catalog in his head from every era.  I can't really browse on the computer.  I can click through iTunes and stuff, but it's not the same.  There's blogs, but you just end up downloading whatever's there.  I like the feeling of finding something no one else knows about. 

A lot of vinyl releases come with digital download cards nowadays too.
